Some Other “Uh(m)”sFootnote¹

¹The material discussed here was previously presented as part of Plenary Lectures at the “brandial” conference at the University of Potsdam, Germany, September, 2006 and at the 28th annual meeting of the Department of Linguistics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, April 2007. Parts of the text to follow appear in Studies in Greek Linguistics 28 (Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Department of Linguistics, School of Philology, Faculty of Philosophy, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, April 21–22, 2007); Thessaloniki: Institute of Modern Greek Studies (The Manolis Triantafyllidis Foundation), 2008; or as CitationSchegloff (2009) in CitationTurner and Fraser (2009). My thanks to those who gave me helpful feedback in these several venues; to the editor of this journal and three anonymous referees; to Nick Enfield and J. P. de Ruiter of the Max Planck Institute, Nijmegen (and now at the University of Bielefeld), in particular; and to Gene Lerner for careful and detailed input when he had much else to do. Where I entertain alternative possible treatments of the data in the text or (most often) in a footnote and attribute them to “one” or “some” (as in “one might think …”), I am indebted to one or more of these colleagues who alerted me to these proposed alternatives.
