Abstract

tsengsc(4ate.sinica.edu.tw This paper presents results of an empirical analysis on the structuring of spoken discourse focusing upon how some particular utterance components in Chinese spoken dialogues are highlighted. A restricted number of words frequently and regularly found within utterances structure the dialogues by marking certain significant locations. Furthermore, a variety of signals of monitoring and repairing in conversation are also analysed and discussed. This includes discourse particles, speech disfluency as well as their prosodic representation. In this paper, they are considered a kind of "highlighting-means " in spoken language, because their function is to strengthen the structuring of discourse as well as to emphasise important functions and positions within utterances in order to support the coordination and the communication between interlocutors in conversation. 1
