Ebook: Prosodie im Gespräch: Aspekte einer interaktionalen Phonologie der Konversation

In this volume, the author develops and warrants prosodic categories and analyses within the framework of an 'interactional phonology of conversation'. Major chapters deal with the role of prosody in the constitution of turn-constructional units and turns, the signalling of conversational questions, and the design of story-telling and arguing in conversational interaction. The author shows that and how participants make use of prosodic categories as constitutive cues in the construction and interpretation of verbal activities in natural discourse.
