This title examines verbal action by recipients in conversational interaction, and actions the recipients do by using response particles. The author approaches the issue by exploring the meanings and usages of the particle "nin(n)" and "joo" in Finnish conversations. The study is aimed at a demonstration of the relevance of conversation analysis in the understanding of the actional and interactional properties of linguistic units as they occur in natural conversation.
