Abstract
Most previous studies of Korean conversation have focused on clause- or sentence-final elements to describe various interactional strategies of conversationalists. This chapter demonstrates that the beginnings of a turn in Korean are also an interactionally important place, and provides a comparative analysis of two turn-initial particles used in responses to questions: kulssey and kulenikka. Both particles can be translated as well in the target sequential position and index that there is some trouble with the question. However, each particle is used for addressing a particular type of trouble with the preceding question and for indexing a specific upcoming action. This chapter includes an account for how the particles may have acquired these functions, and a brief comparison of the particles to the comparable English particle well.
