Echo Response is a move inspired by the notion of an echo answer. “An echo answer is an answer that repeats elements of the question. This response form occurs after yes/no questions…". According to Svennevig[1], “echo answers have two main usages. The first is to appropriate a candidate formulation and integrate it into one’s own turn in progress…The other is to claim a strengthened commitment to the answer…”
Example (1): -Explainee:["So I'm at UC Berkeley, I'm a psychology student", 'studying cognitive neuro-science', 'and I just started my third year.'] -Explainer:['Congratulations.'] -Explainee:['Thank you.'] -Explainer:['So a lot of brain stuff.'] -Explainee:[A lot of brain stuff.] ---> Echo Response
Example (2): -Explainee:["I'm a fourth year Chemistry student at USF."] -Explainer:['So pretty science-y.'] -Explainee:[Yes, pretty science-y.] ---> Echo Response
