Vacuuming the Sky? Metaphorical Framing in News Coverage of Carbon Dioxide Removal Methods
Discussions of proposed climate solutions, such as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), are multi-layered and contested. This study examines the role that metaphors play as frame devices in news coverage (2018–2024) about CDR. Using critical metaphor analysis, we examined 257 articles from major UK, US, and Canadian news outlets to identify and interpret contrasting metaphorical expressions from journalists and their sources, including industry, science…
Managing Communication Challenges in Recommending Aids and Adaptations to Activities of Daily Living in Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Assessment Consultations
Often, occupational and physiotherapeutic assessment consultations involve patients discussing their problems in activities of daily living (ADL) and therapists trying to find suitable solutions. These conversations can present challenges since patients frequently reject therapists' recommendations, which can jeopardize shared decision-making, bring interactional and relational tensions, and can mean patients can lose out on potential benefit. Th…
The Case for Open Conversation Analysis Data
As part of the growing “open science” movement, this article advocates integrating open data approaches into CA practices, drawing lessons from successful large-scale “big team” collaborations. The discussion begins by examining the history of data sharing in CA and its connection to evolving ideas and practices of open data. We explore software tools to support open CA data formats and share insights from developing an open CA data repository, t…
Projecting incongruity in turn and action
When science meets society
Recently, there have been calls for a new approach to science communication, emphasizing relationship building between researchers and the public. To date, what relationship building looks like in practice remains unclear. In this conversation-analytic study, we analyze conversations between researchers from different disciplines and community members to examine relationship building in real life. We analyzed a recurring pattern in these conversa…
Language policy as interactional practice in everyday public space
This article introduces the Corpus of Language Discrimination in Interaction (CLDI)-an open-access corpus of transcribed video data, capturing moments where individuals are policed in some way for the language they are speaking or otherwise endorsing while sharing public space (e.g. in stores, restaurants, parking lots, and parks). Despite having thus far largely evaded systematic inquiry, such interactions are illustrative of a particular genre …
Between confrontation and mutual non-interference
The proliferation of smartphone cameras and other portable recording devices has enabled the rise of so-called 'copwatching', people filming police-citizen encounters with the primary aim of increasing police accountability. Interactions between copwatchers and police officers generally take place under conditions of mutual mistrust and regularly lead to heated arguments over the recording activity and its precise modalities. Using conversation a…
Procedural Detailing
In palliative care in the UK, occupational and/or physiotherapists consult with patients to assess how they are managing their activities for daily living in light of their life-limiting condition(s), and to identify any activities that might benefit from therapeutic intervention. In this paper we use conversation analysis to describe a patient's practice in these consultations, which we call "procedural detailing," whereby they produce a step-by…
Anticipatory initiations
For many social encounters, the reason-for-the-interaction is ordinarily produced by the party who makes contact with another. However, it is possible for the contacted party to act on that reason-for-the-interaction before it gets articulated. This article describes one such practice. When an interaction is incipiently underway, the contacted party, seeing the other person, may guess at their reason for making contact and thereby predict the lik…
Self-authorizing action
This article contributes to conversation analytic research on the formatting of imperative actions by focusing on the English first person imperativelet me/lemme Xas it appears in a range of naturally occurring interactions. I argue thatlemme Xis a practice for displacing what was projectably relevant in a given environment in favor of a self-authorized action. This as a result tends to advance the speaker's interests/initiatives. The analysis ac…
Using expletive insertion to pursue and sanction in interaction
This article uses conversation analysis to examine constructions like who the fuck is that-sequence-initiating actions into which an expletive like the fuck has been inserted. We describe how this turn-constructional practice fits into and constitutes a recurrent sequence of escalating actions. In this sequence, it is used to pursue an adequate response after an inadequate one was given, and sanction the recipient for that inadequate response. Ou…
Gaze
Gaze is a visible index of attention and therefore serves critical functions for language users in social interaction. Though gaze behavior necessarily interlocks with other conduct like concurrently produced speech, gestural movements, and the arrangement of bodies, research on gaze as a topic in itself is robust, especially within conversation analysis. This entry provides a brief history of gaze research as it emerged from work on nonverbal co…
Waiting to Inhale
This article examines sniffing in everyday conversations. It builds on prior conversation analytic research on respiratory conduct, which has shown how things like inbreaths, sighs, and laughter are delicately organized and consequential components of the social occasions into which they figure. Sniffing—the swift, audible, intake of breath through the nasal passage—is analyzed by reference to its sequential placement in talk. Using a collection …
Sequence organization
Imitation in children’s locomotor play
Children commonly engage in social locomotor play—the horsing around, running about, and physical contact characteristic of playgrounds and neighborhood streets. To adults and outsiders, this activity may look like undisciplined chaos. However, the very recognizabilitly of locomotor play—the fact that children observably pull it off together as a discriminate activity—points to a set of shared practices for its accomplishment. In this article, we…
How Speakers Continue with Talk After a Lapse in Conversation
How do conversational participants continue with turn-by-turn talk after a momentary lapse? If all participants forgo the option to speak at possible sequence completion, an extended silence may emerge that can indicate a lack of anything to talk about next. For the interaction to proceed recognizably as a conversation, the postlapse turn needs to implicate more talk. Using conversation analysis, I examine three practical alternatives regarding s…
Sequence recompletion
Lapses
Interaction includes moments of silence. When all participants forgo the option to speak, the silence can be called a “lapse.” This article builds on existing work on lapses and other kinds of silences (gaps, pauses, and so on) to examine how participants reach a point where lapsing is a possibility and how they orient to the lapse that subsequently develops. Drawing from a wide range of activities and settings, I will show that participants may …
Sighing in Interaction
Participants in interaction routinely orient to gaze, bodily comportment, and nonlexical vocalizations as salient for developing an analysis of the unfolding course of action. In this article, I address the respiratory phenomenon of sighing, the aim being to describe sighing as a situated practice that contributes to the achievement of particular actions in interaction. I report on the various actions sighs implement or construct and how their po…
Do Sighs Matter? Interactional Perspectives on Sighing
In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:Why do we sigh? The consensus on sighing as a physiological phenomenon regards it as important for restoring healthy variability to the respiratory system, specifically effecting lung compliance (Caro et al. 1960) and restoring the chemical properties of gas exchange (Cherniack et al. 1981). The psychological literature embarks from these accounts to link respiratory characteristics to psychological…
