Abstract
This paper takes a Conversation Analytic and Interactional Linguistic perspective on final particles. More specifically, the interest lies in the ways in which conjunctions can be used as turn-final particles in conversation, serving interactional functions. The paper will focus on the conjunction mutta, which is the Finnish equivalent to the English but. The data come from naturally occurring telephone and face-to-face conversations. The paper builds on the claims presented in Mulder & Thompson (2008) and develops its ideas further by exploring the use of final but in yet another language and by offering more interactional evidence for the recognizability of this phenomenon in terms of the contexts of occurrence and the conversational actions that turns ending in mutta accomplish.
