Abstract
The role of the connective and is here considered as a preface to questions in spoken interaction. Using data from informal medical encounters, it is argued that and-prefacing is used to link a question to a preceding question/answer pair or pairs. In such contexts, and-prefacing indicates that the questions it prefaces have a routine or agenda-based character. This in turn can be a resource which invokes and sustains an orienta- tion to an activity or course of action that is implemented through a series of question/answer pairs, but transcends any individual pair. The general characteristics of and-prefaced questions are contrasted with contingent or follow-up questions, which are not normally and- prefaced. Some strategic uses of and-prefaced questions are described, and the role of the device within the more general sociolinguistic con- text of the data is discussed.
