back-channeling
反馈语
In witnessing face-to-face conversation, observers perceive authentic communication according to the social contingency of nonverbal feedback cues (‘back-channeling’) by non-speaking interactors. […] The concept of communicative ‘back-channel’ refers to the idea that two simultaneous channels can be specified in an act of linguistic conversation: the speaker’s primary channel, and the addressee’s response, or ‘back channel’ [8]. Back-channel cues - incorporating vocalisations, facial expressions, gaze, and gestures - involve responsive feedback to the speaker to provide information about the addressee’s ongoing engagement in the dialogue.
对于什么是反馈语，Talbot (1998:32) 也曾这样论述道：“反馈语是一些短小的回应，是受话人发出的一些噪音，如“mm, yeah, ok”等。它们被称为支持性反馈，并构成合作交谈的重要成份。”White (1997:322) 还试图从发话人 (speaker) 的角度来解释这一语言现象。他认为发话人在 “yes, uhhuh” 等反馈支持下，有助于使发话继续下去。他还将反馈语看成是受话人所发出的一种支持行为和人们参与交流活动时应必备的能力。"
