In this paper, we argue that the suggested mirror-equivalence of ‘left-’ and ‘right-’ adjoined or -positioned constituents in syntax is misleading from the point of view of Interac-tional Linguistics and needs to be replaced by a positionally sensitive grammatical analysis, in which pre- and post-positioning is seen in the context of the sequential unfolding of conversa-tion in time. We show this on the basis of various examples from conversational German and Swedish. Our main empirical focus is on pre- and post-positioned verba sentiendi expressions of the type ich denke… or jag tror (cf. English ‘I think’). A quantitative analysis shows that these expressions have an uneven distribution in pre- and post-position, as well as in different discourse genres. In a sequential analysis, we can see a positionally sensitive differentiation with respect to syntactic integration and interactional meaning, especially with reference to the dynamics of stance taking and turn taking. |
