I show that, apart from the preference for three-part lists described by Jefferson (1990), lists are embedded in a larger three-component structure that the list is the middle part of. For lists proper, I suggest to differentiate between closed and open lists that are produced with different kinds of practices. It is the prosody that is used to suggest the list as made up of a closed or an open number of list items, irrespective of its syntactic embedding. I then concentrate on open lists, in particular their intonation. Open lists may be produced with different kinds of, albeit similar, intonation contours. But it is not so much the particular intonation contour that is constitutive of lists, but a variety of similar contours plus the repetition of the chosen contour for at least some or even all of the list items. Furthermore, intonation is deployed to suggest the interpretation of a potential final list item as either a designed list completer or as another designed item of the list. The design of this final list item as a completer or as another list item is used as a practice to signal the non-completion or completion of the list proper. But even after completing the list proper, the larger three-component structure also has to be closed in order to embed and accommodate the list into the surrounding sequential interaction. For the analysis of the practices of list construction I am concentrating on the role of prosody, especially intonation, giving evidence to show that intonation is indeed one of the methodically used constitutive cues that makes the production and structuring of lists recognizable for recipients.}, language = {en} } @article{SeltingKern2009, author = {Selting, Margret and Kern, Friederike}, title = {On some syntactic and prosodic structures of Turkish German in talk-in-interaction}, issn = {0378-2166}, doi = {10.1016/j.pragma.2009.05.018}, year = {2009}, abstract = {On the basis of our data from telephone and face-to-face conversations between adolescent girls and young women of ethnic Turkish background who live in Berlin, we will describe some characteristic structures of the ethnic style of speaking that is called 'Turkendeutsch', 'Turkenslang', 'Kanak sprak' or the like. In our data, this style of speaking is not deployed throughout the speakers' conversations, butonly in particular turns and turn-constructional units (TCUs). The utterances most typical of this style exhibit specific combinations of syntactic and prosodic features that are unusual for colloquial and/or regionalized varieties of German. Among the structures recurrently found are specific kinds of pre- and post-positioned constituents before and after their 'host' sentences, the separation of turn-constructional units into very short prosodic units, the deployment of both lexical stress as well as utterance accentuation as a resource for stylistic variation, and the constitution of particular rhythmic patterns.

After presenting the approach, some case studies of the display and management of affectivity in storytelling in telephone and face-to-face conversations are presented. The analysis reconstructs the display and handling of affectivity by both storyteller and story recipient. In particular, I describe the following kinds of resources: the verbal and segmental display: Rhetorical, lexico-semantic, syntactic, phonetic-phonological resources; the prosodic and suprasegmentalvocal display: Resources from the realms of prosody and voice quality; visual or "multimodal" resources from the realms of body posture and its changes, head movements, gaze, and hand movements and gestures. It is shown that the display of affectivity is organized in orderly ways in sequences of storytelling in conversation. I reconstruct (a) how verbal, vocal and visual cues are deployed in co-occurrence in order to make affectivity in general and specific affects in particular interpretable for the recipient and (b) how in turn the recipient responds and takes up the displayed affect. As a result, affectivity is shown to be managed by teller and recipient in storytelling sequences in conversation, involving both the reporting of affects from the story world as well as the negotiation of in-situ affects in the here-and-now of the storytelling situation.}, language = {en} } @article{Selting2010, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Prosody in interaction : state of the art}, isbn = {978-90-272-8846-2}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{Selting1994, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Emphatic speech style - with special focus on the prosodic signalling of heightened emotive involvement in conversation}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{SeltingSandig1994, author = {Selting, Margret and Sandig, Barbara}, title = {Sektion Textlinguistik und Stilistik : Schwerpunkt 'Sprech- und Gespr{\"a}chsstile' ; Teil 1}, year = {1994}, language = {de} } @article{Selting1994, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Question intonation revisited : the intonation of conversational questions}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{Selting1994, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Konstruktionen am Satzrand als interaktive Ressource in nat{\"u}rlichen Gespr{\"a}chen}, year = {1994}, language = {de} } @article{Selting1994, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Emphatic speech style - with special focus on the prosodic signalling of heightened emotive involvement in conversation}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{SeltingSandig1995, author = {Selting, Margret and Sandig, Barbara}, title = {Sektion Textlinguistik und Stilistik : Schwerpunkt 'Sprech- und Gespr{\"a}chsstile' ; Teil 2}, year = {1995}, language = {de} } @article{Selting1995, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Der 'm{\"o}gliche Satz' als interaktiv relevante syntaktische Kategorie}, year = {1995}, language = {de} } @article{Selting1995, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Sprechstile als Kontextualisierungshinweise : die sprechstilistische Kontextualisierung konversationeller Aktivit{\"a}ten, am Beispiel m{\"u}ndlicher Erz{\"a}hlungen in Gespr{\"a}chen}, year = {1995}, language = {de} } @article{Selting1996, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {On the interplay of syntax and prosody in the constitution of turn-constructional units and turns in conversation}, issn = {1018-2101}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{Selting1996, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Prosody as an activity-type distinctive signalling cue in conversation : the case of so-called 'astonished questions' in repair-initiation}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{CouperKuhlenSelting1996, author = {Couper-Kuhlen, Elizabeth and Selting, Margret}, title = {Towards an interactional perspective on prosody and a prosodic perspective on interaction}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{CouperKuhlenSelting1996, author = {Couper-Kuhlen, Elizabeth and Selting, Margret}, title = {Introduction}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{SeltingSandig1997, author = {Selting, Margret and Sandig, Barbara}, title = {Discourse style}, year = {1997}, language = {en} } @article{SeltingSandig1997, author = {Selting, Margret and Sandig, Barbara}, title = {Einleitung}, year = {1997}, language = {de} } @article{Selting1997, author = {Selting, Margret}, title = {Sogenannte Ellipsen als interaktiv relevante Konstruktionen?

Depending upon the alignment of the second rise and the third plateau, with only the final unaccented syllable of the intonation phrase or with the nuclear accented syllable and the following tail, the contour needs to be distinguished, yielding either an 'upward staircase with an additional final rise plateau' or a 'double upward staircase'.
