Abstract:
This conversation analytic study examines responsive echt (“really”), which is commonly associated with “newsmarks,” in co-present German interaction. Across uses, echt-turns are a practice for topicalizing, however briefly, something in another participant’s just-prior turn. We demonstrate how both the design of echt-turns and participants’ epistemic positioning matter to how echt-turns are treated and shape interactional trajectories. By using the notion of “inviting” a next action, we highlight the importance of conceptualizing response relevance after second-position actions, and specifically after “newsmark-type” responses, as a gradient.
Keywords:
echt-turns; “newsmark-type” responses; second-position actions
