ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I investigate the interplay between context and perception through playback, which reveals how the interviewees perceive the practice of extended concurrent speech for strong disagreement they create, receive, or witness. The interviewees’ perceptions establish and are restricted by the personal context, the interactional context, and the sociocultural context in which the practice is conducted. Initially, the interviewees’ are not aware of the practice. But after their attention is directed to it, they claim that it is appropriate. Their varying explanations ratify the selectivity of perception and the mutual influence of context and perception on each other.
