Abstract

This chapter discusses OKAY in transitions and closings, based on findings in the data from 13 languages that are analyzed in the project on OKAY. The chapter shows that OKAY features in a variety of languages in closing environments at different levels of organization, where the particle might occupy diverse positions and do similar but also complementary work across the languages. The sequential and activity environments to be discussed include (i) sequence closings, (ii) activity closings, (iii) transitions between activities or topics, and iv) the closing of an entire conversation.
