Abstract
Notes
This is an empirical study of the functions of the Spanish particle eh in Mexican Spanish talk. In general, eh is described as an interactional particle: its production makes next turn relevant some sort of response from the recipient, i.e., it pursues a response: eh is a cue to move on to a new topic, it works as a next turn repair initiator, and it can indicate the absence of an answer and request it. Eh can also be used to mark self-repair in the production of a turn. In buying and selling interactions, eh is used by the customer to index transparency in the business transaction, to call the attention of the seller when resuming the interaction, to interactionally emphasise thanks giving, and to request acknowledgment of a directive. Additionally, the use of eh by the customer is one of the elements that exposes a particular relationship between the customer and the seller.
