    In this paper we examine how participants’ multimodal conduct maps onto one of the basic organizational principles of social interaction: preference organization – and how it does so in a similar manner across five different languages (Czech, French, Hebrew, Mandarin, and Romanian). Based on interactional data from these languages, we identify a recurrent multimodal practice that respondents deploy in turn-initial position in dispreferred responses to various first actions, such as information requests, assessments, proposals, and informing. The practice involves the verbal delivery of a turn-initial expression corresponding to English ‘I don’t know’ and its variants (‘dunno’) coupled with gaze aversion from the prior speaker. We show that through this ‘multimodal assembly’ respondents preface a dispreferred response within various sequence types, and we demonstrate the cross-linguistic robustness of this practice: Through the focal multimodal assembly, respondents retrospectively mark the prior action as problematic and prospectively alert co-participants to incipient resistance to the constraints set out or to the stance conveyed by that action. By evidencing how grammar and body interface in related ways across a diverse set of languages, the findings open a window onto cross-linguistic, cross-modal, and cross-cultural consistencies in human interactional conduct.

    Fonctionnement macro-syntaxique et dimension anaphorique des relatives produites post hoc : une analyse interactionnelle et multimodale
    Cet article examine l’usage des relatives incrémentées, produites post hoc, après des tours de parole potentiellement complets. L’analyse multimodale identifie les motivations fonctionnelles de ces relatives et décrit les aspects énonciatifs et pragmatiques soulignant leur fonctionnement macro-syntaxique. Ceci entraîne une réinterprétation de leur dimension anaphorique et du statut syntaxique de leur pronom introducteur, envisagé comme un connecteur macro-syntaxique lié à l’organisation des tours de parole et des actions qui les composent.
