Abstract

This paper considers a recent and growing body of research into turn-initial objects, and describes some of the difficulties associated with their analysis. It suggests that they particularly cluster around ‘expectation canceling’ functions: in first position to manage the connectedness or otherwise of a current turn to the previous one, and in second position to resist the constraints on second position speakers arising from first positioned turns.
