Lists as embedded structures and the prosody of list construction as an interactional resource

[MP3 Audiofiles]  

The starting point of my analysis is a practice or an action in everyday conversation: lists. My analysis aims at the following points:

I will first analyse the sequential organisation and embedding of lists in general, then describe the prosody of lists, with data from conversations of speakers of Standard German; finally, I will demonstrate that the prosody of lists is indeed oriented to as a constitutive cue in the signalling of lists in interaction.
