Abstract:

This book analyzes compliments and compliment responses in naturally
occurring talk-in-interaction in German. Using Conversation Analytic
methodology, it views complimenting and responding to compliments as social
actions which are co-produced and negotiated among interactants. This study
is the first to analyze the entire complimenting sequence within the larger
interactional context, thereby demonstrating the interconnectedness of
sequence organization, turn-design, and (varying) function(s) of a turn. In
this regard, the present study makes a novel contribution to the study of
talk-in-interaction beyond German.

The book adds to existing work on interaction and grammar by closely
analyzing the functions of linguistic resources used to design compliment
turns and compliment responses. Here, the study extends previous
Conversation Analytic work on person reference by including an analysis of
inanimate object reference. Lastly, the book discusses the use and function
of various particles and demonstrates how speaker alignments and
misalignments are accomplished through various grammatical forms.
