How Shared Interactional Histories Shape Local Practices: Mutual Adaptation of Participants’ Stance and Affect Displays in Assessment Activities
We set out to uncover how processes of mutual adaptation over iterative encounters inform the ways in which participants design their turns and actions. Analyzing assessment practices between an au pair and her host mother during mealtime interactions over nine months, we document both local, in situ adaptations in the course of single assessment activities and longitudinal change across repeated interactions over time. As their relationship evol…
It's funny because: From clause-combining pattern to projector construction in French talk-in-interaction
This paper offers an interactional multimodal analysis of linguistic usage patterns comprising parce que ‘because’ in conversational French, focusing on instances that can be schematized as [assessment + parce que + clause/multi-unit stretch of talk]. While because -clauses represent a prototypical case of subordination, previous research has shown that these are not always grammatically subordinate but can be used in pragmatic ways to perform st…
On the need of pluralism and common ground in SLA
Science, like the Mississippi, begins in a tiny rivulet in the distant forest. Gradually other streams swell its volume. And the roaring river that bursts the dikes is formed from countless sources. (Flexner, 1939, p. 547) Hyperbolic claims that SLA is in crisis (!), that a unifying theory is overdue, or that research must be oriented toward pedagogy have resurfaced once again—most recently in the response by Lantolf et al. (2025) to the Special …
Identifying two interactional functions of en fait (‘in fact, actually’) in L2 French: A mixed-methods approach
Recent conversation-analytic research on second language acquisition has begun to explore the ways in which L2 speakers develop specific linguistic resources for discourse-organizational purposes. A key challenge in this area is to account for both the developmental trajectory of such resources through quantitative frequency analyses and their interactional complexity when mobilized in context. Addressing these two facets of acquisition requires …
Forging common ground in second language acquisition and teaching: A combined synergy statement
In this final article in this guest‐edited issue on synergies in second language acquisition and teaching (SLA/T), we attempt to bring together the main content of this issue in an overall, combined synergy statement, concluding this project as a whole. Let us remind readers of the project: A shared effort by 17 scholars taking 11 different perspectives on SLA/T is not the norm in our field. Our aim has been to promote the intermingling and cross…
Praxeology, humanism, equity, and mixed methods: Four pillars for advancing second language acquisition and teaching
In this article, we present our vision of a transformed second language acquisition and teaching (SLA/T) disciplinary community that approaches second language (L2) education through four pillars. The first pillar is praxeology (i.e., the study of human action) to highlight the sociocontextually emergent nature of L2 competence. It locates the emergence of L2 grammar and interactional competence in humans acting conjointly with others with and th…
Séjour linguistique et développement de la compétence d’interaction en L2: Sur l’intersection entre acquisition et construction de rapports sociaux
Cette étude longitudinale en analyse conversationnelle interroge l’intersection entre la trajectoire acquisitionnelle d’une apprenante de français L2 et les rapports sociaux qu’elle noue avec sa famille d’accueil durant un séjour linguistique. L’analyse se concentre sur les interactions durant les repas (lieux privilégiés de la socialisation en famille). Nous montrons que (i) le séjour linguistique a un effet structurant sur le développement de l…
La requête dans les interactions institutionnelles: Une Introduction
Dans l'introduction à ce numéro spécial dédié à la requête dans les interactions institutionnelles, nous présentons d'abord la conception de l'institution et de l'interaction institutionnelle caractérisant les travaux ici réunis, laquelle peut être qualifiée de socio-constructiviste. Nous esquissons ensuite le développement historique de la recherche sur les requêtes, en prêtant une attention particulière aux études menées dans une perspective in…

L'article prend pour objet des requêtes adressées par des clientes à des professionnels dans des salons de coiffure, proposant ainsi d'enrichir notre compréhension du fonctionnement social de cette action en contexte institutionnel. Conduite dans l'esprit de l'analyse conversationnelle multimodale, l'étude porte plus précisément sur des moments pendant lesquels les clientes adressent une demande de révision aux professionnels, accompagnant cette …
Emergent L2 Grammars in and for Social Interaction: Introduction to the Special Issue
Setting the stage for the central themes and the articles in this special issue, this introduction delineates the epistemological confluences, complementarities, and differences among conversation analysis (CA), on the one hand, and 2 strands of usage‐based linguistics, on the other—namely, usage‐based second‐language acquisition (SLA) and interactional linguistics. This implies depicting how an increased interest in actual usage within the field…
Functional Diversification and Progressive Routinization of a Multiword Expression in and for Social Interaction: A Longitudinal L2 Study
In this article, we bring together conversation analysis and usage‐based linguistics to investigate the second language (L2) developmental trajectory of a linguistic construction within the complex multimodal ecology of naturally occurring social interaction. We document how, over the course of 15 months, an L2 speaker's use of the French multiword expression comment on dit [how do you say] diversifies in both form and function. Two types of long…
Si vous avez quelqu’un sous la main: Les si-indépendantes en tant que format de requête
Cet article interroge les structures si-indépendantes ( si vous avez quelqu’un sous la main ) fonctionnant en tant que requêtes dans un corpus d’appels d’urgence à la police. Sur le plan grammatical, ces structures peuvent être rapprochées de conditionnelles du type [ si-X , (alors) Y]) dont la clause principale n’est pas produite ; elles relèvent ainsi du phénomène de l’insubordination. L’analyse se concentre sur la dimension fonctionnelle des s…
L’évaluation des compétences: Mythes du langage et défis pour la recherche
Dans cet article, je souhaite examiner un certain nombre de défis que pose l’évaluation des compétences en langue dans l’optique que nos pratiques de chercheur(e)s en linguistique appliquée. Sur cette base, je plaiderai pour une pratique ‘écologique’ d’évaluation qui rende compte de la nature constitutivement sociale, dynamique et contextuelle du langage
Navigating the complex social ecology of screen-based activity in video-mediated interaction
Task-oriented video-mediated interaction takes place within a complex digital-social ecology which presents, to participants, a practical problem of social coordination: How to navigate, in mutually accountable ways, between interacting with the remote co-participants and scrutinizing one’s own screen –which suspends interaction–, for instance when searching for information on a search engine. Using conversation analysis for the examination of sc…
Multimodal action formats for managing preference: Chais Pas ‘Dunno’ Plus Gaze Conduct in Dispreferred Responses to Questions
This paper investigates speakers' use of the French epistemic expression je sais pas (JSP) 'I don't know' and its variants (e.g., chais pas 'dunno') in dispreferred responses to questions – i.e., responses that disagree or disalign with the terms set up by the prior speaker's action. Drawing on multimodal conversation analysis, I identify two distinct uses of the expression in the same sequential environment that systematically differ in terms of…
Pseudo-cleft-like structures in Hebrew and French conversation: The syntax-lexicon-body interface
In this study, we set out to shed light on cross-linguistic consistencies in the grammaticization of projecting constructions and on the interface of embodied conduct and complex syntax. We present a multimodal interactional linguistic analysis of Hebrew clauses opening with ma she- 'what that' and French clauses opening with ce que 'it that' in what has been traditionally considered to be part of pseudo-cleft structures. Based on recordings of n…
Conversation Analysis and Second Language Acquisition: Ca‐Sla
This entry presents the conversation analytic approach to the study of second language acquisition (CA‐SLA). It briefly outlines the historical development of the field and its reconceptualization of key concepts: Learning is viewed as a socially situated practice that becomes observable through the micro‐details of social conduct; competence is defined as a locally contingent, ever adaptive ability to use semiotic resources in social interaction…
Fonctionnement macro-syntaxique et dimension anaphorique des relatives produites post hoc: Une analyse interactionnelle et multimodale
Cet article examine l’usage des relatives incrémentées , produites post hoc , après des tours de parole potentiellement complets. L’analyse multimodale identifie les motivations fonctionnelles de ces relatives et décrit les aspects énonciatifs et pragmatiques soulignant leur fonctionnement macro-syntaxique. Cela entraîne une réinterprétation de leur dimension anaphorique et du statut syntaxique de leur pronom introducteur, envisagé comme un conne…
How grammar grows out of social interaction: From multi-unit to single-unit question
This article scrutinizes interactional motivations for the sedimentation of grammatical usage patterns. It investigates how multi-unit questioning turns may have routinized into a single-unit social action format. Multimodal sequential analysis of French conversational data identifies a recurrent pattern in which a question-word question is followed by a candidate answer (formally: [question-word question + phrase/clause]). The data show a contin…
Longitudinal Conversation Analysis - Introduction to the Special Issue
How do people’s interactional practices change over time? Can conversation analysis identify those changes, and if so, how? In this introductory article, we scrutinize the novel insights that can be gained from examining interactional practices over time and discuss the related methodological challenges for longitudinal CA. We first retrace CA’s interest in the temporality of social interaction and then review three lines of current CA work on ch…
The Routinization of Grammar as a Social Action Format: A Longitudinal Study of Video-Mediated Interactions
In this article, we provide longitudinal evidence for the progressive routinization of a grammatical construction used for social coordination purposes in a highly specialized activity context: task-oriented video-mediated interactions. We focus on the methodic ways in which, over the course of 4 years, a second language speaker and initially novice to such interactions coordinates the transition between interacting with her coparticipants and co…
Word Order Affects Response Latency: Action Projection and the Timing of Responses to Question-word Questions
This article explores the relation between word order and response latency, focusing on responses to question-word questions. Qualitative (multimodal) and quantitative analyses of naturally occurring conversations in French—where question-words can occur in initial, medial, or final position within the question—show that variation in word order affects the timing of responses. It is argued that this is so because word order provides a differentia…
Early Responses: An Introduction
This special issue investigates early responses—responsive actions that (start to) unfold while the production of the responded-to turn and action is still under way. Although timing in human conduct has gained intense interest in research, the early production of responsive actions has so far largely remained unexplored. But what makes early responses possible? What do such responses tell us about the complex interplay between syntax, prosody, a…
Linguistic structures in social interaction: Moving temporality to the forefront of a science of language
In this introductory paper to the inaugural volume of the journal Interactional Linguistics , we raise the question of what a theory of language might look like once we factor time into explanations of regularities in linguistic phenomena. We first present a historical overview that contextualises interactional approaches within the broader field of linguistics, and then focus on temporality as a key dimension of language use in interaction. By d…
At the Interface of Grammar and the Body: Chais pas (“dunno”) as a Resource for Dealing with Lack of Recipient Response
This article examines speakers’ use of French chais pas (“dunno”) when they find that their sequence-initial turn has not been responded to by their recipient (roughly: Speaker A: Maybe they’re doing a master’s degree; Speaker B: [no response]; Speaker A: Dunno). Two interactional workings are documented in this precise sequential location: Speakers use chais pas either for withdrawing their just-produced sequence-initial action, thereby cancelin…
Second Language Acquisition as Situated Practice: Task Accomplishment in the French Second Language Classroom
This article provides an empirically based perspective on the contribution of conversation analysis (CA) and sociocultural theory to our understanding of learners' second language (L2) practices within what we call a strong socio-interactionist perspective. It explores the interactive (re)configuration of tasks in French second language classrooms. Stressing that learning is situated in learners' social, and therefore profoundly interactional, pr…
Longitudinal Studies on the Organization of Social Interaction
This book advances our understanding of change over time in human social conduct, and represents the first consolidated effort to reveal how micro-analytic studies of social interaction address such issues. The book presents a collection of longitudinal studies drawing on conversation analysis across a variety of settings, practices, languages and timescales, and analyses the ways in which participants produce and deal with practices changing ove…

Reported Speech in Conversational Storytelling During Nursing Shift Handover Meetings
Shift handovers in nursing units involve formal transmission of information and informal conversation about non-routine events. Informal conversation often involves telling stories. Direct reported speech (DRS) was studied in handover storytelling in two nursing care units. The study goal is to contribute to a better understanding of conversation in handover and use of DRS in storytelling in institutional contexts. Content analysis revealed that …

Mediation Revisited: The Interactive Organization of Mediation in Learning Environments
This article is concerned with the social organization of mediation in learning environments. It seeks to further articulate the sociocultural notion of mediation in sociointeractional terms, combining insights from the sociocultural approach to cognition and the microinteractionist, especially ethnomethodological approach to social activities. A microanalysis of mediation in communicative 2nd-language classroom activities where the task at hand …

Conversation Analysis and Second Language Acquisition: Ca ‐ Sla
Conversation analytic research on second language acquisition (CA‐SLA) has emerged relatively late in the history of both CA and SLA. This is largely due to the historic development and the analytic focus of the two fields of research. On the one hand, ethnomethodological CA originated as a critical approach to society concerned with the local production of social order; it was not designed to address issues of learning or development. On the oth…
The patching-together of pivot patterns in talk-in-interaction: On ⿿double dislocations⿿ in French
Direct reported speech in storytellings: Enacting and negotiating epistemic entitlements
This paper presents a study of participants’ use of direct reported speech (DRS) in storytelling during dinner table conversation in French. Focusing on reported dialogues, the analysis corroborates earlier conversation analytic findings showing that speakers regularly use linguistic, prosodic and paralinguistic resources to stage the characters whose speech is being reported; thereby speakers display their stance on behalf of those characters an…
Pivotage’ in French talk-in-interaction: On the emergent nature of [clause-np-clause] pivots
French talk-in-interaction shows a recurrent patterning of utterances that can schematically be presented as [clause-NP-clause], as in elle i va s’effacer l’image i elle i va s’effacer (‘it i is going to fade away the image ,i it i is going to fade away)’, where i signals co-indexicality. In this pattern, the NP represents a pivot element which together with the preceding clause can be heard as forming a right dislocation ([clause-NP]), and toget…
L2 Interactional Competence as Increased Ability for Context-sensitive Conduct: A Longitudinal Study of Story-openings: Table 1
This article sets out to investigate second language (L2) interactional competence and its development over time by zooming into a conversational activity that is pervasive in our social lives: storytelling. We present a longitudinal case study of a German L1 speaking au-pair’s conversational storytellings during her nine-month stay with a French-speaking host family. We document how her practices and resources for opening a story change over tim…

Longitudinal Research on the Organization of Social Interaction: Current Developments and Methodological Challenges
Adapting practices to local circumstances based on earlier interactions is mundane conduct for human beings. It becomes available for description only when conduct is analyzed as ordered in time, both sequentially and historically. In this introduction to the volume, we first situate the studies presented here with regard to the research agenda of classical Conversation Analysis (CA) and discuss earlier longitudinal research in the field. We then…
Tracking Change Over Time in Storytelling Practices: A Longitudinal Study of Second Language Talk-in-Interaction
We present a longitudinal case study of a second language speaker’s changing storytelling practices over a period of nine months while interacting with her host family. We focus on how the storyteller moves the telling toward a recognizable end and, jointly with the recipient, engages in closing down the storytelling sequence. Results show an increased use of resources to anticipate the story climax, to recognizably display the story ending and t…
