An initial description of syntactic extensions in spoken Czech

This paper aims to describe different patterns of syntactic extensions of turns-at-talk in mundane conversations in Czech. Within
interactional linguistics, same-speaker continuations of possibly complete syntactic structures have been described for
typologically diverse languages, but have not yet been investigated for Slavic languages. Based on previously established
descriptions of various types of extensions (Vorreiter 2003; Couper-Kuhlen & Ono 2007), our initial description shall therefore contribute to the cross-linguistic
exploration of this phenomenon. While all previously described forms for continuing a turn-constructional unit seem to exist in
Czech, some grammatical features of this language (especially free word order and strong case morphology) may lead to problems in
distinguishing specific types of syntactic extensions. Consequently, this type of language allows for critically evaluating the
cross-linguistic validity of the different categories and underlines the necessity of analysing syntactic phenomena within their
specific action contexts.
