Abstract
The article introduces a new website, samtalegrammatik.dk ('grammar oftalk-in-interaction'), it describes the methods used for constructing thewebsite, and it provides descriptions of three new grammatical phenomenain Danish talk-in-interaction. The website is a result of investigations car-ried out by the research group DanTIN ('Danish talk-in-interaction') since2009. Until 2013, the group has published analyses of quite diverse phe-nomena, such as different versions of the word hvad 'what' that seem to be-long to different word classes and have different functions in talk-in-interaction, the distribution of the hesitation marker øh(m) 'uh(m)', or dif-ferent word orders after the conjunction fordi ('because'). These phenome-na were selected because they were clearly different from written Danish.By launching the website samtalegrammatik.dk the group takes a step to-wards building a comprehensive grammar of Danish talk-in-interaction. Itoffers a template for a description of all aspects of the grammar of Danishtalk-in-interaction, even though at the time of the launching only a littlepart of the entries will be filled in. The idea is that the investigations will becontinued in many years to come, and, thus, the website will grow and be-come more complete. The three phenomena reported in some detail here allhave intonation as an important part of their grammatical descriptions.They are (1) the particle nå (roughly 'oh'), (2) exaggerated pitch as a storyending device, and (3) the interjection ej, which is an intranslatable excla-mation word
