Description: Elements in turn-initial position have been broadly defined as ”any token or formulaic phrase that begins and prefaces a turn (and thus a TCU)” (Kim & Kuroshima 2013: 269). On a general level, elements in turn-initial position project the type and shape of the upcoming turn, and show how the turn relates to the previous talk (Heritage & Sorjonen 2018b; Kim & Kuroshima 2013; Schegloff 1987, 1996: 81–82).
