The Grammar

The grammar on this webpage has three parts. They are under construction, so not all chapters and parts are finished yet. The parts are:

The Building Blocks of Talk-in-interaction which is structured much like a traditional grammar. It starts with the smallest building blocks, the sounds, and proceeds to larger units, ending with discourse units. As this is a grammar for talk-in-interaction, it also includes chapters about Embodied and non-lexical expressions, Repetitions and Repair formats.

Social Actions is an account of what talk-in-interaction is used for. It lists the main social actions and explains the interactional logic guiding their use. 

Interactional Phenomena is an alphabetical list of short descriptions of concrete expressions and practices that are used in Danish talk-in-interaction. All entries include examples and links to relevant chapters in the sections about The Building Blocks of Talk-in-interaction and Social Actions.
