AB - What has priority in the communication with the other is the transmission of correct messages. On the other hand, the use of various devices for smooth communication also is a way to lead the conversation. Conjecturing that the speaker’s intention are contained in moving constituents leftward or rightward deviant from the regular word order, this paper has classified inversion constructions with transcription data containing natural everyday conversations as its objects, and investigated the mechanism of occurrence of these constructions. As a result, it appears that the rightward inversion construction reflects the speaker’s attitude toward the transmission of the correct information. So the rightward inversion construction is one of the discourse devices that best meet the basis of conversation. Contrastively, the leftward inversion construction features the speaker’s intention for the conversation participants. There are some advantages for making the hearer understand the gist of the speaker’s messages in moving some constituents leftward in the current conversational situation even if the move elements are old information. In addition, given the fact that there are many examples related to taking the initiative in conversations, including initial revelation of shocking contents for making the hearer pay attention to what are being said, and replacement of the topic presented by the other with the one introduced by the speaker, it can be claimed that the concept of effective information transmission, rather than correct information transmission, is the main mechanism of occurrence of the leftward inversion construction.
