This article applies Goffman's notion of 'footing' to completions of another speaker's utterance, built in three-part sequences, in the third turn of which the original speaker accepts or rejects the footing and the propositional content of the putative completion.The focus is on participants' orientation to footing in cases where the original utterance is on the footing of 'author', 'relayer' and 'spokesperson' in Levinson's terminology, discussing examples of how (such) completions are ratified and rejected.
