....is whether any forms that don t explicitly assert I believe you or I agree indicate anything more than simply understanding. For example, a point of controversy is whether a phrase such as uh huh can be used to indicate the adoption of belief or the commitment to a proposed course of action [Schegloff, 1982; Grosz and Sidner, 1986] I will argue that utterances that add no new information, which occur as B s response, assert understanding with various strengths, but only implicate acceptance. 3 A secondary issue is that previous work has proposed that there is a class of IMPLICIT ACCEPTANCES. The ....

Actually, the idea of a turn taking unit is much more complex than this suggests for example, see O Connell, Kowal Kaltenbacher, 1990.

In addition, it has been suggested that they serve to facilitate active participation in dialogues and promote smooth conversations (e.g. Dittman Llewellyn, 1967; Duncan Friske, 1977) Schegloff (1982) described two main types of acknowledgment: continuers and assessments.

Conversants use acknowledgments as continuers to signal continued attention and to display the recipient s understanding that the speaker is in ....

The definition developed draws on previous surveys and discussions of various proposed definitions (Rosenfeld, 1978; Schegloff, 1982; Orestrom, 1983; Mizuno, 1988; Maynard, 1989; Drummond and Hopper, 1993; Clancy et al. 1996; Horiguchi, 1997) Most of the points we make reflect a majority of opinion among researchers, although there are divergent opinions on each issue. 2.1 Clear Cases Clear cases of back channel feedback ....

They also seem to comprise much of the phenomena that have been studied as listener responses , accompaniment signals , continuers , assessments , acknowledgments , reactive tokens , interjectory utterances , and recipiency tokens . These clear cases also correspond well to ....

....a theorist formally analyses the social contract implicit in dialogue in terms of the conversants jointly intending to make themselves understood and to understand the other. From our perspective, the signals of understanding and requests for them, which are so pervasive in ongoing discourse [4, 16, 19], would thus be predictable as the means to attain the states of mutual belief that discharge this joint intention [8, 7] More generally, if such an account of dialogue were successful, it might then be possible to formalize cooperative conversation in a way that leads to the derivation of ....

....is pervasive yet seldom noticed. An interesting example of responsiveness is the mm, uh huh, and other grunts and words that people produce while listening (Yngve 1970) that is, back channel feedback . Back channel feedback had been taken as prototypical of social interaction more generally (Schegloff 1982). Back channel feedback seems a very basic, low level part of language in several ways. First, it doesn t require much effort: you can produce feedback without paying attention, and do so well enough avoid detection, for at least 5 or 10 seconds, as when reading a newspaper while someone is ....

....Okay, Uh huh . Note that prompts are in direct contrast to the other options that a participant has available at any point in the discourse. By indicating that the speaker does not want the floor, prompts function on a number of levels, including the expression of understanding or agreement[Sch82]. The rules for the allocation of control are based on the utterance type classification and allow a dialogue to be divided into segments that correspond to which speaker is the controller of the segment. ffl CONTROL RULES UTTERANCE CONTROLLER (ICP) ASSERTION SPEAKER, unless response to a ....

....or set membership [LP84, PH90] The different phrase final contours (rising, falling, level) distinguish among sentence types, such as interrogative or declarative, and speech acts ( Aus62, Sea69] such as requesting or informative. They also convey topic structure, coordinate turn taking [Sch82, Yng70, SSJ74] and affirm social connection [McL91] In essence, the interactive and information structure interpretations identify prosody as a resource used by the speaker to facilitate the hearer s comprehension and cooperation. Studies in this vein have uncovered useful correlations between ....

....why they do not simply walk away during a conversation. A new theory of conversation is emerging in which dialogue is regarded as a joint activity, something that agents do together (Clark Wilkes Gibbs, 1986; Cohen Levesque, 1991b; Grosz Sidner, 1990; Grosz Kraus, 1993; Lochbaum, 1994; Schegloff, 1981; Suchman, 1987) The joint action model claims that both parties to a dialogue are responsible for sustaining it. Participating in a dialogue requires the conversants to have at least a joint commitment to understand one another, and these commitments motivate the clarifications and confirmations ....

....course 3.1.3 Backchannels A backchannel is a short utterance which plays discourse structuring roles like indicating that the speaker should go on talking. These are usually referred to in the CA literature as a continuer , and there is an extensive literature on them (Jefferson 1984; Schegloff 1982; Yngve 1970) Recognizing them is important first because of their discoursestructuring role (knowing that the hearer expects the speaker to go on talking tells us something about the course of the narrative) and second because they seem to occur at certain kinds of syntactic boundaries; ....
