Assessing and categorizing have been shown to be different types of descriptions, however, the different ways of talking involved in each have not been analyzed. Drawing on ethnomethodology, this article argues that assessing and categorizing are distinct and empirically identifiable ways of producing descriptions. These different ways of talking have practical implications for actors making descriptions. To analyze how these methods of describing work, the different manner in which they produce complex descriptions is analyzed
