Abstract
Co-present conversation is the primary habitat of human language and thus most probably constitutes an important locus of language change. However, language change is observable only at much larger timescales. How, then, is it possible to study the real-time conversational dimension of language change? In this paper, we argue that language documentation corpora, often covering spontaneous conversational language use, will constitute a crucial data source for such an endeavor, next to historical sources. We report two case studies illustrating the investigation of the mechanism of conversational priming in repetitional responses, where a responding interactant may repeat an innovative form used by the other interlocutor, which may in turn facilitate the spread of this innovation across a population.
