Excerpt 6.11 'Driving in England'
The immediately preceding discussion has been about driving in other cultures.
There has been some debate about how easy or difficult this is with varying
opinions being proffered. KH turns to EP (whom has been silent to tat point and
whom KH knows does have driving licence and lives in England).
KH: >Die Elke fährt doch aber auch=wie bist denn Du damit fertiggeworden (
(1.5)
EP: Ich bin nur einmal gefahren und dann nie wieder
(0.5)
KH: Tatsächlich=Ist das so schwierig
EP: Nö=aber ich hab keine Lust
(2)
SH: Ach sie fängt dann schon (1
IB: «LOUD COUGH»
KH: Fährst dann noch nichtmal=ne
(0.5)
EP: Nö: (1.5) >Ich fahre mit=dem Bus<
(2)
KH: Wegen des Linksverkehrs jetzt (. ) oder weshalb=
EP: =NEI::: N=Ich habe einfach keine Lust mit dem Auto [zu fahren
KH: [Ach so
Excerpt 6.11 Translation 'Driving in England'
KH: >But Elke drives as well=how did you cope with that
EP: I've only driven once and not again
(0.5)
KH: Really--is that so difficult
0
EP: No=I just don't feel like it
(2)
SH: Oh she already begins
IB: [((LOUD COUGH))
KH: So you don't even ddve=do you

EP: No: (1.5) >1 take the bus<
(2)
KH: Because of the left-hand drive (. ) or what=
EP: =NO::: =l just don't feel like [driving
KH: [Oh right
What happens in this piece of talk is that KH makes repeated attempts to
examine EP's reasons or rational for not driving in England, and attempts to
initiate some objective discussion which can be assessed for its pros and cons.
