抽象
“真的（吗/啊）？”是一般疑问句的形式，但是在自然口语会话中并不只是因怀疑对方所说信息真假而表达疑问，而是回应标记。本文从互动交际的角度出发，论述了“真的（吗/啊）”在会话序列中的功能。“真的（吗/啊）”在会话中表示得到的完全是新信息或者信息与自己的背景知识有差异，表达意外、惊讶等情感。在会话结构上，“真的（吗/啊）”与主要讲述者结构一致，即不与之抢夺说话权，请对方继续说下去。
Abstract
The information response token zhende ma/a in Chinese spontaneous conversation
Syntactically speaking, 真的吗/啊 zhende ma/a ‘really?’ is a polar interrogative. However, in spontaneous conversation, it serves as a question about the authenticity of the information and as a response token. This article analyses the functions of zhende ma/a in conversation sequences from the perspective of interactional linguistics. It is found that zhende ma/a expressions are news-markers. That is to say, speakers convey that they are informed of a situation that is new or contrary to their background knowledge and are therefore surprised. In terms of the conversation structure, zhende ma/a displays the recipient’s alignment with the telling activity and encourages the prior speaker to continue their talk.
