Abstract(in English) This paper describes an analysis of interjectory responses in usual Japanese dialogues.Interjectory responses are utterances such as hat,ee,and un,corresponding roughly to`yes'or`uh-huh'in E nglish.They are uttered in response to yes-no questions and requests,and are interjected while the partner is making utterances.Although hai,ee,and un are usually classified as interjections,this classification does not appropriately reflect their functions,and so we call them in this paper`interjectory res ponses'.Our analysis is mainly on telephone dialogues about using LATEX,a document preparation system.Based on the analysis,it is claimed that interjectory responses do not necessarily show understanding of the partner′s utterances,that they contribute to coordination of dialogue participants,that they advance dialogue, and that they are keys to an utterance processing model.
