&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This paper examines Greek invitations as&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;fi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;rst pair parts of an adjacency pair within the framework of Conversation Analysis. The focus of our research is on impromptu invitations issued via polar negative-interrogative constructions and the effects this type of con- struction has on the interactional organization of the whole invitation-response sequence. It is suggested that the issuing of the invitation by means of this particular syntactic choice has rami&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;fi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;cations for the unfolding of the interaction with respect to sequencing and preference organization. Speci&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;fi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;cally, it is maintained that impromptu invitations issued by means of polar negative-interrogatives in Greek tend to trigger markedly delayed accep- tances. It is suggested that the explanation for this phenomenon lies in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;cross-cutting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;preferences built in the construction when used to make impromptu invitations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
