Monica:
Come on, you can’t live off your parents your whole life.
Rachel:
I know that. That’s why I was getting married!
[Audience laughter]
Phoebe:
Give her a break. It’s hard being on your own for the first time.
Rachel:
[surprised] Thank you.
Phoebe:
You’re welcome. I remember when I first came to this city. I was
fourteen. My mom had just killed herself and my stepdad was
back in prison. [Audience laughter] And I got here and I didn’t
know anybody. And I ended up living with this albino guy who
was like cleaning windshields outside Port Authority, and then
he killed himself. [Audience laughter] And then I found aroma-
therapy, so believe me, I know exactly how you feel. [Audience
laughter; Rachel looks confused.]
Ross:
The word you’re looking for is ‘Anyway . . . ’ [Loud audience
laughter]
The audience’s loudest laughter here is reserved for Ross’s punchline, which,
by overtly changing the topic, acknowledges that Pheobe’s story (which
initially promised to offer sympathy by sharing an experience) transgresses
the cultural function of such stories by quickly moving far beyond the shared
experiences of most middle-class Americans. The comedy, as in the
Monty
Python
sketch, lies mainly in the exaggerated transgression of an everyday
conversational genre.
The question that mediated discourse such as this raises about ‘real’
discourse, as presented in the family mealtime discussion in Chapter 3, is that
the taped conversation there, too, was in a sense ‘mediated’. At least one of the
participants in all the conversations reported in Eggins and Slade (1997) must
have known that the interaction would go beyond the immediate participants,
at least insofar as it would be scrutinised by discourse analysts, and possibly
eventually published for a wider audience. In the collection of ‘everyday’
conversational data, mediation is sometimes explicitly acknowledged by the
