Abstract:

The last two decades have witnessed a remarkable growth of interest in what
are variously termed discourse markers or discourse particles. The greatest
area of growth has centered on particles that occur in sentence-initial or
turn-initial position, and this interest intersects with a long-standing focus
in Conversation Analysis on turn-taking and turn-construction. This volume
brings together conversation analytic studies of turn-initial particles in
interactions in fourteen languages geographically widely distributed (Europe,
America, Asia and Australia). The contributions show the significance of
turn-initial particles in three key areas of turn and sequence organization:
(i) the management of departures from expected next actions, (ii) the
projection of the speaker's epistemic stance, and (iii) the management of
overall activities implemented across sequences. Taken together the papers
demonstrate the crucial importance of the positioning of particles within
turns and sequences for the projection and management of social actions, and
for relationships between speakers.
