Abstract

In previous papers I have analysed the interplay of syntax and prosody in the production and interpretation of TCUs in their lexico-syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and sequential context (Selting 1996a, 1998 Ms). I described the roles of syntax as the projection device with scope over the current TCU till the end of a possible sentence or other possible syntactic construction in the given context, and prosody as the projection device with the ability to locally project continuation beyond the current TCU, with further lexico-syntactic, lexico-semantic, pragmatic and activity-type specific factors projecting larger turns. This analysis was used to clarify the notions of the turn-constructional unit (TCU) and of transition relevance places (TRPs) at possible completion points of possible turns. TCUs were, largely in agreement with Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson (1974), defined as basically the smallest linguistically possible complete units in their sequential context, with TRPs being blocked and suspended at the ends of non-final TCUs till the projected (first) possible completion point(s) of possible final TCUs in the turn.
