Membership categorization in children’s pretend play
Drawing on data from 24 hours of video-recorded interaction of two bilingual (Korean, English) children aged between three and five, we use multimodal conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis to show how pretend membership categories are invoked and mapped onto the children during social pretend play. In the examined data, the membership categories (person typifications) are organized into standardized relational pairs , such …
Assembling competent participation in L2 interaction in a "simulated wild" context
Simple language, sophisticated actions: Sequence-initiating actions by novice English users in an educational context
Drawing on video-recorded data from an educational institution called Tokyo Global Gateway, we investigate how visiting students use English for sequence-initiating actions addressed either to a teacher (called an agent) or other students. As the students usually use Japanese to address another student, we analyze how they accomplish targeting the agent when they use English to address another student. By doing this, the students position the age…
That kind of pants: Designedly ambiguous deadpan delivery of a possibly nonserious turn in multiparty Japanese conversation
Work on conversational humor often focuses on the use of laughter, smiling, and other contextualization cues used to frame an utterance or turn as nonserious. However, a possibly nonserious turn can also be delivered in a deadpan manner, with few or no such contextualization cues. Deadpan delivery of a possibly nonserious turn results in ambiguous framing of the turn for its recipients. In this paper, we use multimodal conversation analysis to an…
Audible gestures: Single claps as a resource for managing interaction
This study focuses on one type of audible gesture, designedly single claps (DSCs), as used by different people at an educational institution. The institution is designed to provide second language English users with opportunities to use English in various situations. Through the use of Multimodal Conversation Analysis, the analysis first focuses on the shape of DSCs and what makes them visible as not projecting further claps. Next, the analysis f…
Avoiding initiation of repair in L2 conversations-for-learning
Using audio-recorded data from second language (L2) English conversations-for-learning between an L2 user of English and a first language (L1) user of English (the researcher), this study analyzes cases in which the L1 user avoids initiation of repair. In each case, the L2 user appears to have misunderstood something said by the L1 user. Instead of initiating repair in next turn on the L2 user’s talk, or in third position on his own talk, the L1 …
Construction of a binary evaluative taxonomy within a story
Making use of Occasioned Semantics, I look at how a taxonomy of different types of alcoholic beverages is constructed within a story told during the closing of a meeting at a neighborhood organization. The data are in Japanese with English translation. The use of taxonomic analysis within Occasioned Semantics is discussed, with a separate example. The story is shown to be placed at a point in the closing routine where an invitation to join a post…

Introduction to topicalizing regrading in interaction
Private Speech as Social Action
An important theoretical construct within the Vygotskian sociocultural approach to second language learning is private speech. Within a conversation-analytic framework, an agnostic stance is taken in this paper toward the possible intrapsychological function(s) of private speech in order to (1) illustrate how private speech can be identified within the details of talk-in-interaction and (2) how private speech can be understood as social action. I…
Commentary: RT and the dramatization of everyday life
Solution strokes: Gestural component of speaking trouble solution
Downward stroke gestures which are produced in conjunction with the solution of speaking trouble, such as a word search, during English language discussions among Japanese university students, are described and labeled solution strokes . Similar gestures that involve striking something are labeled solution strikes . These gestures can be understood as the gestural component of the utterance which solves the trouble. They index the subjective expe…
Beyond intersubjectivity: Task orientation and first language use in foreign language discussions
One type of task interaction that students in a foreign language class may do is using the language they are studying for discussion. This paper analyzes interaction among Japanese university students participating in such discussions in English. The participants are interactionally competent; one source of resources they draw on to construct this competence is their first language, Japanese. Participants occasionally use Japanese to refer to Jap…
Stability and Change in One Adult's Second Language English Negation
This article reports on how, against a background of relatively stable patterns of second language negation, a Japanese-speaking adult learning English made use of a negative formula, "I don't know," and how, in and through interaction, analyzed it into its component parts and began using "don't" more productively. Making use of the micro-analytic techniques of conversation analysis to analyze data collected over a seven-month period, two relativ…
On the Danger of Exogenous Theory in CA-for-SLA: A Response to Hellermann and Cole (2009)
Within the growing body of work that is sometimes labeled CA-for-SLA, there is a need for more research with longitudinal data. Hellermann and Cole (2009) provide a valuable contribution in this area. However, in doing so, they also make use of an exogenous theory of learning, situated learning theory (Lave and Wenger 1991), and its associated theoretical concepts of community of practice and legitimate peripheral participation. In this response,…

Coding ‘Corrective Recasts’: The Maintenance of Meaning and More Fundamental Problems
A fair amount of descriptive research in the field of second language acquisition has looked at the presence of what have been labeled corrective recasts. This research has relied on the methodological practice of coding to identify particular turns as 'corrective recasts'. Often, the coding criteria make use of the notion of the maintenance of meaning across turns, implicitly incorporating a theory of meaning. Through the use of empirically-base…
