Abstract

Estonian no(o)(h) is a typical spoken language item, and in writing it appears in informal dialogue. No(o)(h) is furthermore one of the most frequent items in spoken Estonian: the form no places 18th among the most frequent words in everyday conversation and 22nd in institutional interaction...This chapter is a first attempt to give an overview of all the interactional functions of no(o)(h) but nevertheless excludes the very frequent particle chains no(o)jah/jaa 'yeah', ei 'no' no, no vat/vot, no nii 'so', et no et approx. 'that', ja noh ja 'and', aga 'but' noh, and the reduplicated no(o)no(o)(h) that carry yet other functions. The focus will be on the use of no(o)(h) in conversation, studied with the methods of sequential analysis as developed within the field of interactional linguistics.
