First and foremost, I would like to express my most sincere and profound gratitude to Dr. Fay Wouk, who is my main supervisor. Without her various forms of unfailing support, guidance and encouragement, the present thesis would never have been possible. Working with her fundamentally reshaped and developed my philosophy of language and ways in which use of language should be analyzed as it is. The essence of what I have learned from her contributed to the present thesis in various forms. I would also like to heartily and earnestly express my deepest thanks to Professor Michael Barlow for his many helpful comments and suggestions throughout the thesis and constant encouragement. As a corpus and usage-based linguist, his role as my co-supervisor significantly influenced and developed my way of thinking of usage of grammar in real-life contexts. Next, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Professor Yan Huang and Professor Frank Lichtenberk for their advice and encouragement. My thanks also go to my fellow students at

This study demonstrates that RPQs deployed in this specific position express alternative views to initial assessments by appealing to participants' common sense or knowledge and index participants' epistemic symmetry over a particular assessable. These RPQs do not simply convey the speakers' disagreement with initial assessments, however, but are designed to be situated as 'new' first assessments by triggering the conditional relevance of the question-answer adjacency pair, thereby inviting agreement from the prior speaker. This study also reveals two commonly observable practices by which the speaker secures the participants' epistemic symmetry over a particular assessable and thereby creates the basis for producing RPQs. It is further shown that these two practices can affect the strength of disaffiliation expressed by the RPQ.
