![ABSTRACT: Interjections, response tokens and other one-word-constructions (Couper-Kuhlen & Selting 2018) are well-studied within Conversation Analysis, and important work has been done on the topic (e.g. Stivers 2022). They occur very frequently in conversations and perform a variety of actions. For instance, mm is both used to confirm, assess and as a receipt and continuer. Such systems may be part of the grammar of a language (Steensig & Serensen 2019; Enfield et al. 2019). My talk investigates such phenomena within functional linguistics and explores how to understand interactional functions (such as action and stance) in relation other concepts of function (e.g. the terminology for units of certain layers). The talk presents two descriptions: the formulation of response tokens as a word class (or part-of-speech), based on the approach in Functional Discourse Grammar as laid out by Hengeveld (1992), with the incorporation of sequential position and action, and an account of the propositional value of response tokens and related phenomena, and how the layered structure of the clause can be used. The presentation is primarily based on conversation analytic collections of response tokens in Danish everyday interactions, focusing on ja ‘yes', nej'no’, nd (approx. ‘oh’), okay and mm in freestanding uses, but will also incorporate resources and perspectives from other languages based on existing literature.
