This article discusses processes and practices in utterance-building in an interactive perspective. It argues for a model of on-line incrementation in which projections, and sometimes their suspensions, play a crucial role. The status of units of language within such a theory of languaging is discussed. Data are drawn from authentic conversational interactions in Swedish, with a special focus on evidence from pivot utterances, deviations from normative grammar and slips of the tongue. Keywords: Utterance production; dialogue; incrementation; interaction; projection; units of conversational language; Swedish
