Clicks, ingressive stop sounds produced on a velaric airstream, have been shown to be used for discourse-pragmatic purposes in a number of languages where they are not phonemic. The current work investigates clicks in spontaneous Central Swedish conversation, with a particular focus on their phonetic context and their functionality in discourse. Clicks used to take up a conversational turn or extend a previous one are frequent in Swedish, as are clicks used during a word search or in backchanneling. Unlike reports for some other languages, clicks as markers of stance arise only rarely. While different click functions tend to have different phonetic features surrounding the clicks, the clicks themselves do not appear to be phonetically modified for different functions. This study contributes to the characterization of speech features which do not belong to the linguistic phonological system as such, but which still convey pragmatic meanings in conversational settings.
