Annotation

Call-initial “parasitic apologies”,made en passant (Schegloff, 2007), exhibit callers' (C ) or call receivers' (CR) urge to rectify possible contact problems. Interesting links appear between apologizer (C or CR), parasitic apology structure, and its influence on opening sequence structure.
