Cross-Cutting Preferences in Interactional Trajectories Toward Violence
Contemporary scholarship on violence has offered contradictory accounts for its situated production in interaction, with some proposing that it is difficult to carry out and others contending that most violence is motivated by ostensibly pro-social moral imperatives. We address this puzzle using video recordings of mundane and institutional occasions of violence to document two normative preferences that have “cross-cutting” implications for poss…
Sequential Standoffs in Police Encounters With the Public
Research on interactions involving police officers foregrounds the importance of their communicative practices for fostering civilians’ perceptions of police legitimacy. Building on this research, we describe a pattern of conduct that is a recurrent source of trouble in such encounters, which we call sequential standoffs. These standoffs emerge when two parties persistently pursue alternative courses of action, producing a stalemate in which neit…
What Does “Resistance” Actually Look Like? The Respecification of Resistance as an Interactional Accomplishment
In this introductory article to the special issue on Resistance in Talk-in-Interaction, we review the vast body of research that has respecified resistance by investigating it as and when it occurs in real-life encounters. Using methodological approaches such as ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, and discursive psychology, studies of resistance “in the wild” treat social interaction as a sequentially organized, joint enterprise. As a result…
Other than the Projects, You Stay Professional”: “Colorblind” Cops and the Enactment of Spatial Racism in Routine Policing
In this article, we show how routine policing is conscripted into the project of maintaining and reproducing spatial racism in urban settings through an intersecting set of macro-level processes and micro-interactional practices. Our analysis of ethnographic interviews conducted with over 40 police officers during 20 ride-alongs in the Western United States identifies person- and place-specific heuristic classifications that police officers rely …
Going against the interactional tide: The accomplishment of dialogic moments from a conversation analytic perspective
This article addresses a vital concern in current society by showing what participants themselves may treat as ways to transcend their differences. Actors’ shared understanding has been of longstanding interest across the social sciences. Conversation analysis (CA) treats the procedural infrastructure of interaction as the basis for participants to manage intersubjectivity. The field of dialogue studies has made occasions in which people transfor…
"The turn-by-turn unfolding of "dialogue: Examining participants' orientations to moments of transformative engagement
A central aim of experts, officials, and citizens meeting in the context of policymaking is to organize their encounters in ways that enable them to learn about the other's perspectives - that is, to engage in “dialogue”. However, what is less understood are the interactional trajectories over which these transformative engagements are pursued. Using conversation analysis and drawing on a corpus of recorded Dutch public meetings on livestock farm…
Body Trouble: Some Sources of Difficulty in the Progressive Realization of Manual Action
This report examines interactional troubles that find their source, not in talk, but in manual action. First, we introduce the intertwined character of two fundamental features of most, if not all emergent human conduct: The ongoing structural projection of an action-in-progress along with its continuing progressive realization. We then identify two sources of body-behavioral trouble that interfere with the action implication of emerging manual a…
Interaction at the Boundaries of a World Known in Common: Initiating Repair with “What Do You Mean?”
A recurrent feature of Garfinkel’s famous breaching experiments in which student confederates were instructed to engage an unsuspecting subject in conversation and subsequently insist that they “clarify the sense of (their) commonplace remarks” is the student experimenter’s use, in attempting to realize such “insistence,” of a turn composed of “what do you mean” plus a repetition of some part of the prior talk. Garfinkel suggested that such utter…
Which epistemics? Whose conversation analysis
In a Special Issue of Discourse Studies (2016) titled ‘The Epistemics of Epistemics’, contributing authors criticize Heritage’s research on participants’ orientations to, and management of, the distribution of (rights to) knowledge in conversation. These authors claim (a) that the analytic framework Heritage (and I) developed for analyzing epistemic phenomena privileges the analysts’ over the participants’ point of view, and (b) rejects standard …
Closing matters: Alignment and misalignment in sequence and call closings in institutional interaction
Using data from American emergency call centers, this article focuses on the coordination, and mutual relevance, of participants’ effort to manage two forms of unit completion - sequence closing (as a method for ‘project’ completion) and concluding the occasion in which the project was pursued. In doing so, we specify the import of sequence organization as one method for conducting, organizing, and resolving interactional projects participants ma…
The Camera Rolls: Using Third-Party Video in Field Research
This article draws on one citizen's efforts to document daily life in his neighborhood. The authors describe the potential benefits of third-party video-videos that people who are not social scientists have recorded and preserved-to social science research. Excerpts from a collection of police-citizen interactions illustrate key points likely to confront researchers who use third-party video. The authors address two important questions: How might…

Grammar and Social Relations
This chapter, written by Geoffrey Raymond, explores two kinds of yes/no questions—yes/no declaratives (YNDs) and yes/no interrogatives (YNIs)—in interactions between health visitor nurses (HVs) and mothers who have recently given birth. According to Raymond, these two kinds of yes/no questions differ in terms of the epistemic stance of the questioner. In using YNDs, speakers claim to know about the matter at hand whereas, in using YNIs, they clai…
A deprivation index for health planning in Canada
Administrative databases in the Canadian health sector do not contain socio-economic information. To facilitate the monitoring of social inequalities for health planning, this study proposes a material and social deprivation index for Canada. After explaining the concept of deprivation, we describe the methodological aspects of the index and apply it to the example of premature mortality (i.e. death before the age of 75). We illustrate variations…

Rights and Responsibilities in Calls for Help: The Case of the Mountain Glade Fire
In this article, we examine a corpus of calls occasioned by a single event, the 1990 Mountain Glade Fire in a coastal community on the Pacific Coast, to consider (a) how the distribution of rights and responsibilities are displayed in the talk of callers to the emergency phone line (9-1-1) and call takers (CTs) who receive them and (b) how these are linked to the directionality and action trajectory of such calls. In the case of the Mountain Glad…
Talk and Interaction in Social Research Methods
The epistemics of social relations: Owning grandchildren
Scholars have long understood that linkages between the identities of actors and the design of their actions in interaction constitute one of the central mechanisms by which social patterns are produced. Although a range of empirical approaches has successfully grounded claims regarding the significance of various forms or types of identity (gender, sex, race, ethnicity, class, familial status, etc.) in almost every form of social organization, t…
The Terms of Agreement: Indexing Epistemic Authority and Subordination in Talk-in-Interaction
Within the general framework of agreement on a state of affairs, the matter of the terms of agreement can remain: determining whose view is the more significant or more authoritative with respect to the matter at hand. In this paper we focus on this issue as it is played out in assessment sequences. We examine four practices through which a second speaker can index the independence of an agreeing assessment from that of a first speaker, and in th…
Prompting Action: The Stand-Alone "So" in Ordinary Conversation
Coordinating social action with others entails (and is reflected in) members' knowing where they are in a course of action, from whom an action is due, what action is due, and the like. Although methods of turn taking and sequence organization provide primary resources for establishing a joint understanding of actions and events in conversation, the use of these methods can become complicated because any turn at talk can be understood to particip…
Grammar and Social Organization: Yes/No Interrogatives and the Structure of Responding
Connections between grammar and social organization are examined via one of the most pervasive practices of speaking used in talk-in-interaction: yes/no type interrogatives and the turns speakers build in response to them. This investigation is composed of two parts. The first analyzes a basic organization set in motion by yes/no type interrogatives, describing a preference for "type-conforming" responses and its consequences. The second consider…

The Voice of Authority: The Local Accomplishment of Authoritative Discourse in Live News Broadcasts
Ever since language has been examined as a vehicle for action, scholars have been interested in its authorized use (Austin, 1962). Typically described under the rubric of `felicity conditions', the authorized use of language involves, among other conditions, the right or authority of a member to engage in, or deploy, some named action. This paper begins by examining how participants authorize the discourse of a co-interactant in one specialized s…
