Abstract
In this paper I will be arguing that in a very real sense participants' prosodic behaviors in focused encounters are inter-calibrated with one another and that this is one important means of bringing off social interaction. I will present some new findings in this vein based on an empirical analysis of the freestanding particle oh in response to informings and of the freestanding particles okay/ alright/ sure in response to requests in everyday American English conversation. In conclusion I will touch on the methodological challenges of studying prosody dialogically and outline some of the analytic pay-offs of viewing prosody this way.
