Abstract

In this paper I make two main points: (1) we need a better understanding of context, (2) there may be naturally-occurring phenomena in conversational data which offer a good basis to see the interplay of segmental and prosodic factors in constructing meaning; it may be possible to use such data as the basis for further work. I aim to open a dialogue between quantitative and qualitative approaches to the study of language.
