Sequential organization of post-predicate elements in Korean conversation

In this paper, various interactional features of turn-constructional unit (TCU) continuation as realized in Korean conversation through post-predicate elements are analyzed from a conversation-analytic perspective. Formulated increments, serve re-completers by expanding the host TCU after it has reached possible point completion, which is explicitly marked utterance-final verb predicate. many contexts continuation, tends to be allusively constructed (e.g., form predicate with unexpressed arguments) and saliently indexical speaker’s affective stance, elements, mostly taking ‘insertables’, elaborate TCU. often when action allusive ‘disjunctively’ executed, import being potentially interruptive current talk-in-progress. Such an intrusive deployment TCU, implicated practice foregrounding collusively motivated responsive stance confirmation request), demonstrably oriented speaker, who produces element methodic way mitigating disjunctive initiation prior action. The recipient also orients himself/herself topic-derailing associated such initiating repair and/or promptly resuming his/her talk. As such, production itself, insertable that grammatically semantically related host, may not directly attributed contingencies per se; sequentially occasioned practices geared towards enlivening sequence wrapped up, or continuing assessment highlighting evaluative turn-initially, building turn on turn-tying operations. feature ‘re-doing completion transition-relevance place’ partially manifested prosodic contour final whole component repeated matched elements.
