Abstract

Participants in conversation have at their disposal many ways of showing that their speaking-turn is complete. An important resource for achieving this interactive task is provided by phonetic features. However, the precise role of these features has been obscured because analysts have relied too heavily on their intuitions, particularly about intonational meaning. Drawing on techniques developed within Conversation Analysis we give a precise formulation of the role of phonetic features in turn-delimitation in the speech of London Jamaicans. We show that turn-delimitation in London Jamaican may be signalled by features of pitch, loudness and rhythm centred on the last syllable of the turn. In this respect, London Jamaican is different from some other varieties of English.
