(b) The speaker is recalling or reconstructing the shared information or
knowledge. (b-1) Response with a proclaiming tone There is only one example of a falling-tone response. In <48>, the next speaker wishes to find out about ‘QUEStions’. As a falling tone is chosen for the second tone unit in the speaker’s utterance, questions themselves are not yet mentioned. But the referring tone in the final tone unit implies that ‘THAT’ matter is already common ground.
// ! i WON’t BOther her // ! with any QUEStions just yet // ! nor YOU EIther // !# for THAT matter // (S1/T10-U2, U3) // ! WHAT QUEStions // (S1/T11-U1) 32 (b-2) Response with a referring tone In <49>, the referring tone of the speaker and the next speaker projects an assumption; however, they indicate different matters. Columbo (the speaker) recalls that there was ‘freshwater’ with no chroline around the pool decking, which is very unusual. On the other hand, Hanlon (the next speaker) is referring to the common ground that the pool decking can be wet. He didn’t understand what Columbo implied. In <50>, Hanlon (the speaker) uses a rising tone to remind Columbo (the next speaker) that Eric’s death must be nothing but an accidental one. However, Columbo is doubtful. He is referring back to his previous utterance about the unusual freshwater with no chroline around the pool decking. Prominent words ‘WHY’ and ‘LOOKed’ support the choice of a referring tone. <49> // !# oh there was just this WAter // !# aROUND the POOL decking // (S1/T16-U1) // !# well that’s NORmal // " for there to be WAter around a POOL // # ISN’t it // (S1/T17-U1)
// " SO // # his DEATH was an ACcident // " there MUST be some // # SIMple explaNAtion // (S1/T19-U1, U2) // !# well that’s WHY i said it LOOKed like an accident sir // (S1/T20-U1) (b-3) Response with a level tone The next speaker replies hesitantly with a level tone, followed by a fall-rise tone to be polite, because the speaker said that the room is off limits to unauthorized persons. A rising tone displays his dominance.
// ! ah this is a PRIvate BOX // # MISter // (S1/T1-U1) // " WELL // !# i KNOCKed // (S1/T2-U1)
