This study analyzes backchannels, focusing on Chinese conversations between native Chinese speakers and Koreans speaking Chinese. Native Chinese speakers and Chinese-speaking Koreans use backchannels with greater frequency in their Chinese conversations than do Chinese speakers with other native Chinese speakers. The analysis also reveals that both Chinese-speaking Koreans and Chinese native speakers use backchannels before complex transition-relevance place arrivals. In particular, Koreans speaking Chinese transfer backchannel resources from their native language when they take part in a Chinese conversation. The Chinese-speaking Koreans form intra-turn unit boundaries that serve as a space within a turn to invite the native Chinese speakers to react at a specific moment through the backchannel. This study shows that the Chinese-speaking Koreans and the native Chinese speakers collaborate and co-construct backchannels to signal that they are attentive to the progress of the current speaker's on-going turn and are allowing the opportunity to do an extended turn of their own to pass. The interactive nature of backchannels demonstrates one way in which the relationship between interaction and grammar reflects the interaction between speakers.
