In this paper, we aim to show that there is a kind of hetero-repetition, named echo-answer, which is regularly and steadily associated with a specific prosodic pattern and which occurs in a specific sequential place. Echo-answers allow the participants to echo a part of the preceding turn without signalling a problem or initiating a reparation. Moreover, in some interactional situations, such as service encounters, echo-answers appear to form a constrastive set with echo-questions ; the former being the preferred (unmarked) form and the latter the unpreferred (marked) one.
