Abstract:

One of the tasks participants of a conversation face is the sequential 
organization of their interaction. That is, they have to negotiate both the 
allocation and the timing of turns-at-talk. A first superficial glance at an 
arbitrary interaction shows that participants structure this sequential 
organization in a very orderly manner. Turn-taking is realized without a 
considerable pause or overlap. This raises the question what characteristics 
of turns-at-talk enable hearers to place their new turns at the boundaries of 
the foregoing turn with such precision. In this study, we try to answer the 
question what constitutes turns-at-talk. We propose that turns are best 
analyzed as 3-tuples, describing structures on three distinct levels: syntax, 
prosody and pragmatics. We claim that all three levels are necessary to 
explain the turn-taking phenomenon. In this study we have two goals:

1. We want to show that turns are indeed best analyzed as complex units 
that comprise syntactic, prosodic and pragmatic units, and
2. We want to describe the interplay of these composite structures in the
production of turns-at-talk. We want to describe how syntax, prosody
and pragmatics are used as interactional resources in the organization
of interactions. 

These issues will be addressed in a series of corpus studies based on a large
corpus of informal Dutch conversations. This work is of interest to 
researchers concerned with interactional linguistics and the analysis of 
spoken language.
