Abstract

There are some linguistic expressions in German which help speaker and hearer to organize comprehension. One of these expressions is ach so. The article intends to give an analysis of ach so in dialogues and so-called monologues. The thesis is that ach so is used in order to manage the (sudden) change from divergence to convergence in discourse. Analysed separately the interjection ach and the adverb so can show how this sudden change works in detail. The analysis leads to some more general assumptions about how knowledge is processed in discourse.
