Reformulating prior speaker’s turn in Finnish
Turn-initial siis, eli(kkä), and nii(n) et(tä)
Marja-Leena Sorjonen | University of Helsinki
This chapter examines the Finnish particles siis,
eli(kkä) and nii(n) et(tä)
when they occupy the turn-initial position. The chapter focuses on
the use of these particles when they preface a single type of
action, a reformulation of the prior speaker’s turn or more extended
stretch of talk. In contrast to reformulations without a prefacing
particle, the particles are used for contextualizing the turn by
displaying their speaker’s stance vis-à-vis the action being done.
It will be shown that while the prefaces share a range of
characteristics, most importantly making an explicit link to the
prior talk and projecting a reformulation to come, each of them
displays a distinctive epistemic stance (e.g. degree of certainty;
basis of the reformulation). The chapter sets the turn-initial use
of the particles in relation to their other types of usages and
etymology.
Keywords: turn-initial particle, turn preface, reformulation of prior talk, candidate understanding, anaphoric link, stance taking, epistemic stance, Finnish, particle , particle , particle )
