Abstract
A speaker does position expansion when they are making an agreeing opinion statement in response to a prior speaker’s opinion statement in such a way that the action in the current turn takes over the sequential relevancies established in prior speaker’s turn. This is an interaction-structure re-organizing type of action at the level of the local management of social relations between participants in a multi-person setting. Position expansions are designed as constructionally dependent and-prefaced continuations of the final turn constructional unit in prior speaker’s turn. The device enables a second speaker to retroactively demonstrate their claim to form a group with prior speaker. Position expansion is an alternative way of doing agreement that makes the speaker’s organisational agenda manifest.
