This contribution investigates the use of the Czech particle ("like"/"as") in naturally occurring conversations. Inspired by interactional research on unfinished or suspended utterances and on turn-final conjunctions and particles, the analysis aims to trace the possible development of from conjunction to a tag-like particle that can be exploited for mobilizing affiliative responses. Traditionally, has been described as conjunction used for comparing two elements or for providing a specification of a first element [""]. In spoken Czech, however, can be flexibly positioned within a speaking turn and does not seem to operate as a coordinating or hypotactic conjunction. As a result, prior studies have described as a polyfunctional particle. This article will try to shed light on the meaning of in spoken discourse by focusing on its apparent fuzzy or "filler" uses, i.e., when it is found in a mid-turn position in multi-unit turns and in the immediate vicinity of hesitations, pauses, and turn suspensions. Based on examples from mundane, video-recorded conversations and on a sequential and multimodal approach to social interaction, the analyses will first show that frequently frames discursive objects that co-participants should respond to. By using before a pause and concurrently adopting specific embodied displays, participants can more explicitly seek to mobilize responsive action. Moreover, as tends to cluster in multi-unit turns involving the formulation of subjective experience or stance, it can be shown to be specifically designed for mobilizing responses. Finally, it will be argued that the potential of to open up can be linked to the fundamental comparative semantics of the original conjunction.
本论文探讨捷克语小品词（“like”/“as”）在自然对话中的使用情况。受关于未完成或悬置话语以及话轮末尾连词和小品词的互动研究启发，该分析旨在追踪该小品词从连词发展为类似标签的小品词的可能过程，这种小品词可用于激发亲和性回应。传统上，该小品词被描述为用于比较两个元素或对第一个元素进行具体说明的连词。然而，在捷克语口语中，它可以灵活地置于话轮之中，并且似乎并非作为并列连词或主从连词起作用。因此，先前的研究将其描述为多功能小品词。本文将聚焦于其明显模糊或“填充”性的用法，即当它出现在多话轮话轮中间位置以及紧邻犹豫、停顿和话轮悬置处时，试图阐明其在口语话语中的意义。基于日常视频记录对话的实例以及对社会互动的序列和多模态分析方法，分析首先将表明该小品词经常构建共同参与者应回应的话语对象。通过在停顿前使用该小品词并同时采用特定的身体展示，参与者能够更明确地寻求激发回应行为。此外，由于该小品词往往聚集在涉及主观体验或立场表述的多话轮话轮中，所以可以证明它是专门为激发亲和性回应而设计的。最后，将论证该小品词开启亲和性回应的潜力可与原始连词的基本比较语义相联系。
