“…As pointed out in previous studies that take an interactional approach to phenomena such as questions and directives (Freed and Ehrlich, 2009;Sorjonen, Raevaara, and Couper-Kuhlen, 2017;Steensig and Drew, 2008b;Steensig, Heineman, and Lindström, 2011), the contextual factors are central to determining the function of any fi rst pair part and the response it projects (See also Graf et al, 2020;Mayes, 2020;Worsøe and Jensen, 2020). Contextual factors previously described, such as who has the deontic authority in the interaction (Stevanovic and Peräkylä, 2012), issues of entitlement and contingency (Curl and Drew, 2008;Heineman, 2006) and relations of power in any given situation (Clayman and Heritage, 2014) have so far been addressed in isolation from one another and as such been used to illuminate diff erences in function.…”
