Abstract

Transcripts of repair and/or problem handling sequences from natural conversations ate presented and analyzed wi~h special reference to the role of intonation in the interactive organization of these sequences. It is shown that (a) in the initiation of so-called repair or local problem handling sequences, intonation is used as a type-distinctive de~ce, and (b) in the handling of a global problem handling sequence, intonation is systematically used as a means to constitute and control participant ceoperafion. In general, intonation is analyzed as one contextualizaticn cue cc-occurring with specific syntactic, semantic and discourse organizational devices to signal the status of an utterance in conversational context. It is hypothesized ~ha~ especAa!]v in the global problem handling sequence, different categories of intonation, Joe. diffe~nt accent a_-_d contour types, are systematically used to signal and control parti~pants' interactive problem handling in diff~ent, ~adexically relevant ways simultaneously.
