Ritualized disbelief in Mexican Spanish talk-in-interaction


 The present investigation is a conversation-analytic study that examines a particular type of informing sequence
 where the new information is received with a turn displaying ritualized disbelief. In this paper, I analyze a range of ritualized
 disbelief and news-confirmation turn designs in Mexican Spanish talk: I describe the trajectory that different ritualized
 disbeliefs have, the composition of the disbelief they display, and how news-producers deal with ritualized disbelief turns. I
 argue that a speaker’s knowledge about the matter at hand relates to the type of disbelief expressed in his or her disbelieving
 turn; that is, the social actions involved in this type of sequences show a relationship between turn design, epistemics and
 disbelief.
