Tentative questioning turns and their responses
This conversation-analytic study takes as its focus one kind of adjacency pair, comprising a first pair-part that is a tentatively (i.e., provisionally and/or approximately) formulated questioning turn, and a second pair-part that supplies an answer (or sometimes a non-answer response). Such tentative questioning turns, through a range of turn design features, are routinely built to (1) relax the expectations for any particular mentioned candidat…
Taking Issue with a Question While Answering It
This article examines three practices in responses to polar questions in French: prefacing a polar response token (e.g.,oui["yes"] ornon["no"]) with the particleah(e.g.,ah oui), prefacing with the particleben(e.g.,ben oui), and producing more than one token (e.g.,oui=oui). The analysis suggests that such responses serve to take issue with the question; specifically, respondents display the answer to be obvious or redundant, challenge the question…

Prosody and grammar of other-repetitions in French
This study contributes to the body of cross-linguistic research on repetition, repair, and action-formation more generally. Using conversation-analytic and interactional-linguistic methods to analyse both position and composition in the formation of actions accomplished by other-repetitions in French, the study underscores the interplay between linguistic design, sequential organisation, and territories of knowledge and accountability in interact…
On some functions of salient initial accents in French talk-in-interaction
The question of whether and how intonation patterns bear meanings is an old one, usually evaluated with reference to imagined or elicited speech. This study takes an interactional linguistic approach instead, examining intonation and meaning in naturally occurring interaction. The pattern considered here is a French intonation contour involving a salient initial accent and a low primary accent. This intonation pattern could be analysed as the so-…
Fill-in-the-Blank Questions in Interaction
This article reports on the use of syntactically incomplete utterances in talk-in-interaction as a resource for doing two sorts of inquiries: seeking information and initiating repair. The element inquired about is made relevant next, and typically given by the addressee, in the form of a completion fitted to the incomplete utterance. Using a vernacular term, the practice could be referred to as “asking a fill-in-the-blank question,” where syntac…
How Speakers of Different Languages Extend Their Turns
A speaker who issues a confirming turn starting with particles like yes, oui, ja, and so on, may mean to extend it and provide further material. This study shows that French and German speakers employ the same phonetic contrast to indicate the nature of that turn continuation. In spite of the typological difference between the German use of glottalization and the French use of linking phenomena for word boundaries involving word-initial vowels, s…
Indexing one's own previous action as inadequate
This article considers a practice in French talk-in-interaction, formally characterized as other-repeats prefaced by the change-of-state particle ah . The target practice accomplishes a claim of receipt, while at the same time indexing as somehow inadequate a previous turn by the receipt speaker. Evidence drawn upon includes: (i) the sequential locations of the examined phenomenon; (ii) ensuing developments of the sequence, wherein the indexed in…
Registering and repair-initiating repeats in French talk-in-interaction
This article examines the prosody and sequential organisation of repeats in French talk-in-interaction. Repeats in French are used for initiating repair, as well as for registering receipt. I show for two sequential contexts - after first pair parts and after second pair parts - that the action import of the repeat depends on its prosodic design; prosody allows participants to differentiate between repair-initiating (i.e. questioning) and receipt…
