“…Similarly, research conducted by Perrin et al (2003), regarding the pragmatic function of local diaphonic repetition, shows that there is a relationship between at least one of the four pragmatic functions such as the considering function, the confirmation request function, the positive reply function, and the negative reply function'. Furthermore, Yokomori et al (2018) show that 'people often repeat what has been said in the previous turn to show their receipt or the item being repeated is something he already knows and he has the same understanding as to the previous speaker'. Finally, Bassetti and Liberman (2021) point out that 'simultaneous speaking is only a casual form of conversation and there is no competition for turn speaking, to sustain sociability and motivated by an interest in pure sociality, is a form of life in which cheerful and boisterous interactions are achieved through simultaneous multi-stakeholder talks, and to enhance mutual listening'.…”

The way someone shows politeness in speech acts is not only seen from a macro understanding of how speech participants can keep each other's face and maintain maxims with the inclusion of linguistic elements. Politeness of speech acts should be seen and understood on a micro level; more specifically in the context of language use in a language community as a cultural practice, both collectively and individually. Using the ethnographic perspective of communication, the current study investigates the politeness of speech acts in the context of guidance and counselling communication interactions in senior high schools, in the province of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. The results of the analysis of S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G showed that the politeness of speech acts that appeared in the guidance and counselling process was mediated pragmatically by the use of local dialects. To find the forms, functions, strategies, and cooperative principles of speech act politeness that exist in the speech process, further analysis is carried out using coding techniques which also aims to construct a concept. The results of the analysis showed three forms of politeness, four functions of politeness, six strategies of politeness, and two principles of cooperative principles. The current study understands that violating the principle of cooperation in the context of communication in this study is actually a courtesy and that is why a polite speech act should be relied on the context in which a communication happened. This understanding was constructed theoretically then labelled as 'Dialect politeness' as a cultural communication practice.

“…In this section we discuss other-repetitions that do not address an obvious interactional problem or treat something as unexpected but instead confirm reception in different ways. Generally, these repetitions have a function of registering what the previous speaker has said, and through the repetition they indicate that intersubjectivity between the speakers—regarding hearing, reference, and recognition of what has been said—is intact, or at least not problematized (see Schegloff 1997; Persson 2015; Yokomori, Yasui, & Hajikano 2017; Rossi, introduction, this issue).…”

Other-repetition sequences in Finland Swedish: Prosody, grammar, and context in action ascription

This study examines other-repetitions in Finland Swedish talk-in-interaction: their sequential trajectories, prosodic design, and lexicogrammatical features. The key objective is to explore how prosody can contribute to the action conveyed by a repetition turn, that is, whether it deals with a problem of hearing or understanding, a problem of expectation, or just registers receipt of information. The analysis shows that large and upgraded prosodic features (higher onset, wider pitch span than the previous turn) co-occur with repair- and expectation-oriented repetitions, whereas small, downgraded prosody (lower onset, narrower pitch span than the previous turn) is characteristic of registering. However, the distinguishing strength of prosody is mostly gradient (rather than discrete), and because of this, other concomitant cues, most notably the speakers’ epistemic positions in relation to the repeated item, are also of importance for ascribing a certain pragmatic function to a repetition.

“…Lexical other-repetitions do not always deal with an obvious interactional problem. Instead, they can indicate registering and adequate reception of the information in the prior turn (see Persson 2015;Yokomori, Yasui & Hajikano 2017). Extract (5) provides an example of the phenomenon from a service encounter at a ticket office between the staff employee (STA) and an elderly customer (CUS).…”

This study examines noun phrases in a specific sequential context: otherrepetitions in Swedish conversation, including everyday as well as institutional interaction. Repeating the previous speaker's words can have various interactional functions, e.g., initiating repair, indicating surprise or challenge, or registering information. Our distributional results show that the NP is the typical item in repetition turns. The original structures targeted by repetitions vary from a single NP to clausal units housing NPs. The analysis shows that the identification of the interactional function of other-repetitions builds on their sequential position, prosodic design, and contextual information. Other-repetitions serve the general function of promoting intersubjectivity and participation in conversation, and the NP is demonstrably a central vehicle for this.
