(1978) : Compliment Responses. Notes on the Cooperation of Multiple Constraints In: Schenkein, Jim: Studies in the organization of conversational interaction: New York NY u.a.: Acad. Press (Language, thought, and culture), S. 79-112
Abstract: A large proportion of compliment responses deviate from the model response of accepting compliments. A close examination of those responses reveals that while rejections are frequent, they are not performed as preferred seconds. While various sequential features suggest that determination, one indication is that most compliment responses lie somewhere in between acceptances and agreements on the one hand and rejections and disagreements on the other hand. This chapter describes an organization, which accounts, in part, for the in between-ness of compliment responses. The chapter presents descriptions of constraint systems bearing on compliment responses and describes solution types to conflicting constraints as displayed by compliment responses. The productions of compliment responses are sensitive to the cooperation of multiple constraint systems. One preference system is that of supportive actions, which are responses that legitimize, ratify, and affirm prior compliments. A second constraint system is that of self-praise avoidance.
