Adjacency Pairs and Phatic Expressions The following utterances function as addressing another person. <56> and <57> have a falling tone. The speaker is addressing another person as well as starting a new topic. The response in <56> facilitates the speaker’s next utterance with a rising tone. The response in <57> is a recognition. In <58> and <59>, the speaker confirms at the door of Eve Babcock’s (the next speaker) apartment that the addressed person is the one who he intended to see. She confirms this with a falling tone, implying ‘Yes, I am Eve Babcock.’. In <60>, on the other hand, the speaker already knows who the person is. It seems to be a phatic question that Brazil mentions (see 2.5.2.(d)). The speaker is not expecting any response from the listener, although a response is given. <56> // ! uh SIR // (S3C/T4-U1) // # YES // (S3C/T5-U1)
34 <57> // ! PAUL // (S4B/T1-U1) // ! YES // (S4B/T2-U1)
// # miss BABcock // (S9/T2-U1) // ! DON’t be so cicinNAti // (S9/T3-U1)
// # miss BABcock // (S9/T16-U1) // ! Eve // (S9/T17-U1)
// " uh // # mr. HANlon // (S10/T1-U1) // ! coLUMbo // (S10/T2-U1) Another example which functions as phatic is <61>. The exchange can be treated as a small talk at the beginning of a conversation in this kind of situation when a person such as a fan talks to a famous and popular person like an athlete or a movie star. Usually any response is not expected. The next speaker is not responding directly to the speaker’s question, but implying that he does not want to be bothered. <61> // ! you ARE mr. paul HANlon // # AREN’t you // ! i’ve SEEN your PICtures // ! in the NEWSpaper // (S1/T2-U2, U3) // ! i’m BUSy now // (S1/T3-U1) 61>61>60>59>58>57>56>60>59>58>57>56>57>56> Download 385.48 Kb.
