Abstract
Natural languages and their grammars evolve and exist in moments of face-to-face interaction, in utterances that emerge over time and are constrained by multiple system requirements of intersubjectivity and interaction. The adaptation to this environment can be observed in the diverse and specific 'forward orientations' that grammatical schemata afford. However, we know little about the precise impact of interaction requirements on the historical formation of language types. This is a study of a few grammatical schemata that emerge in interactions among speakers of Ilokano (Philippines, Austronesian). They appear in contexts of repair and are partly shaped by a core feature of Ilokano syntax, linkage (or relation marking). They are analyzed here with regard to their role in the prospective organization of interaction, that is, their implication in the management of turn-taking and turn-expansion. The analysis uncovers candidate features of what might be considered an interactional syntax of the Philippine type.
