Toward a Grammar of Danish Talk-in-Interaction: From Action Formation to Grammatical Description
Is it possible to develop a comprehensive grammar of talk-in-interaction for a specific language based on descriptions of social actions? This is the question we will try to answer in this article. The article is based on the work of the project The Grammar in Everyday Life, which aims to build a systematic grammatical description of Danish talk-in-interaction based on descriptions of social action formats within three domains: question–answer se…
Indexing that something is sufficient: Interactional functions of ingressive particles in Finnish and Danish
Sounds spoken on the inbreath have been shown to be common in the world’s languages, and in the Nordic languages ingressive speech seems to be especially frequent. The present study focuses on Finnish and Danish response particles spoken on the inbreath, by examining their uses in everyday talk-in-interaction in corpora of recorded interactions. The particles we examine and their non-ingressive counterparts can perform confirming and acknowledgin…
Conversation Analysis and Affiliation and Alignment
The terms affiliation and alignment describe two diferent types of collaborative, responsive behavior in interaction. In conversation analytic research, these concepts have been distinguished so that “affiliation” describes collaborative behavior on the “affective” level and “alignment” is used for collaborative behavior on a more “structural” level. “Disaffiliation” and “disalignment” are used for noncollaborative behavior on the same levels. Th…
Throwing the baby out with the bath water? Commentary on the criticism of the ‘Epistemic Program’
It is timely and important that new developments in conversation analysis (CA) become the subject of principled debate. John Heritage’s recent papers on the role of epistemics constitute one such development, and by re-analysing excerpts from this work, the articles in this Special Issue reveal some significant problems with a programmatic approach to epistemics. This commentary agrees with the critics that there are dangers in an overemphasis on…
Opening Up Codings
We welcome Tanya Stivers’s discussion (Stivers, 2015/this issue) of coding social interaction and find that her descriptions of the processes of coding open up important avenues for discussion, among other things of the precise ad hoc considerations that researchers need to bear in mind, both when doing formal coding and when doing more “traditional” conversation analysis research based on collections. We are more wary, however, of the implicatio…
Conversation Analysis and Affiliation and Alignment
When people respond in interaction they will invariably indicate whether they cooperate with aspects of the utterances they respond to.
The Morality of Knowledge in Conversation
Each time we take a turn in conversation we indicate what we know and what we think others know. However, knowledge is neither static nor absolute. It is shaped by those we interact with and governed by social norms - we monitor one another for whether we are fulfilling our rights and responsibilities with respect to knowledge, and for who has relatively more rights to assert knowledge over some state of affairs. This book brings together an inte…
Morality of Knowledge in Conversation
Knowledge, morality and affiliation in social interaction
In everyday social interaction, knowledge displays and negotiations are ubiquitous. At issue is whether we have epistemic access to some state of affairs, but also how certain we are about what we know, our relative authority and our differential rights and responsibilities with respect to this knowledge. Implicit in this conceptualization is that knowledge is dynamic, graded and multi-dimensional and that our deployment of and reliance on episte…
Affiliative and disaffiliative uses of you say x questions
This article explores a question format consisting of `you say' plus a version of what the co-participant has said, which is used to ask for confirmation of something said in an earlier sequence. Questions using this you say x format often request not only confirmation but also accounts and can, on occasions, be taken as challenging the interactional balance, that is, be treated as disaffiliative. The article investigates the sequential, prosodic…
