First, all discourse production takes place under processing constraints which determine in part syntactic chunking. Second, these chunks must have senses which can be identified in the world shared by the audience. Third, a text as a unit may have a general illocutionary force of its own. The Invocatory Context and Production The invocation at a powwow is typically delivered after the parade-in, called the Grand Entry, of all the dance participants in full costume. To initiate the Grand Entry, the emcee requests all participants as well as the audience to rise, and the singers at the host drum in the middle of the arena sing the Grand Entry song as the impressive line-up of dancers approaches the arena in step with the beat.
The crucial role of children in the continuity of an American Indian ethnicity, especially in an urban context, is expressed in the following embedded clause, constituting the second idea unit (lines 13-14). An encouragement to become involved in the powwow activities is formulated as an embedded infinitive clause in the third idea unit (line 14). More specifically, the emcee invites children in the fourth idea unit (lines 14-15) to sit at the drum, a formulation suggesting a singer apprenticeship.
The resulting errors, self-repair, hesitating and pausing are actually surface indications providing insights into internal processes such as syntactic or discourse chunking and the planning of subsequent speech behavior. ). Further support for this speaker's attempt at solving the task environment comes from his preference for extended sentences, for which he relies on a chaining style of syntax. Involving both coordination as well as subordination with heavy dependence on conjunctions and discourse connectives, such a style makes easily available further pauses for speech production planning and also reveals chunking.
