Description: Online Syntax (as introduced by Auer 2007, 2009) is an approach to syntax within the framework of Interactional Linguistics. It analyses (turn) constructional units as dialogically emerging in time, taking seriously the claim in Sacks, et al. (1974) that turn constructional units are defined by their projectable termination (pg. 702). The approach is also indebted to Emergent Grammar (Hopper 1998) but assumes that turn projection is based on shared, experience-based grammatical (constructional) knowledge.
