What is it about?
On the basis of a dialogically oriented and contextually situated approach, this study aims at investigating uses of addressing present co-participants in cases in which the subsequent order of speakership is not at issue. Starting out from Lerner’s (2003: 184) observation that address terms “appear to be deployed to do more than simply specify whom the speaker is addressing”, the article explores turninitial as well as turn-final uses of address terms as practices of increased dialogism in everyday interaction. The paper argues that address terms function as a means to display a personified “orientation and sensitivity to the particular other(s)” (Sacks/ Schegloff/Jefferson 1978: 43) – frequently used in disaffiliating activities.
