ABSTRACT Self-reformulation is when a speaker produces a “second saying” of something, changing the wording but keeping the semantic content more or less unaltered. This conversational practice may constitute a method for avoiding potential understanding problems in talk addressed to second language users. Speakers preempt problems by substituting a potentially problematic word or construction with a version that is more recipient designed—that is, better adapted to the assumed linguistic competence and background knowledge of the interlocutor. The reformulations are self-initiated but may be triggered by a lack of response by the interlocutor. They may substitute for the original formulation by an alternative referring expression or by an explanation of word meaning. While most reformulations display an orientation to simplifying the wording, some instances involve reformulation from an everyday term to a technical one, displaying an orientation to language teaching. Data are in Norwegian.

ABSTRACT What is going on when a psychiatric patient claims a psychiatric diagnosis for themselves which is different from the one a practitioner is investigating? We analyze cases from 10 interviews between psychiatric patients and a nurse using a formal interview schedule to assess whether the patient has a personality disorder. When the patient invokes (temporary) depression to explain some of their experiences or life circumstances, the nurse then has to handle that, while dispassionately pursuing an interview schedule that is, on the contrary, predicated on the diagnosis being a long-term personality disorder. We show how the nurse balances respect for the patient’s account while also performing her institutional duties. The data are in Finnish.

ABSTRACT A performer in an opera has to portray the character they are playing not only through the music but also in their visuospatial behaviors on stage. This article is about how performers and directors negotiate such portrayals through depictions that make proposed actions available for the other participants. The focus is on how depictions are initiated, through relocations in space, and how these initiations are responded to. We see how performer and director collaboratively manage the complex visuospatial requirements of a successful rehearsal. Data are in Swedish and English.

ABSTRACT What happens when a player in a game makes a move that may violate a basic rule? We address this question by analyzing amateur pétanque play, in which participants, from the same throwing position, try to land their throwing balls as close as possible to a target ball. We examine what happens when someone stands in the “wrong” place to throw, and find two distinct sequential trajectories that this projectable violation occasions: (a) The complainant uses a minimal correction format (with address terms, pointing gestures, and indexical expressions), treating the mispositioning as a mistake; (b) the complainant solicits an account for the mispositioning (with a why-interrogative format that attributes knowledge and intentionality to the player), which leads to the accusation of cheating. Data include video recordings of naturally occurring game play, and the participants use English as a lingua franca, although they sometimes resort to Swiss German, French, and Portuguese.

ABSTRACT Exploring the grammar–body interface, the present study examines employment of Hebrew causal clauses prefaced by the conjunction ki “because” in responsive disaffiliative moves. We show that in such environments, ki-clauses tend to convey information that appeals to the participants’ shared knowledge and to be accompanied by the Palm Up Open Hand gesture (PUOH). We argue that the PUOH in such contexts constitutes an embodied epistemic stance marker functioning to present the account prefaced by ki as based on shared knowledge, in pursuit of intersubjectivity and a shared perspective. The reference to shared epistemic access implies an interpretation of the disaffiliative move as reasonable under the circumstances provided by the account, inviting co-participants to display affiliation. The study thus validates that causality is a socially constructed, complex configuration that may include the speaker’s epistemic stance toward the actions accomplished in an interaction and suggests an interactional source for their interrelatedness. Data are in Hebrew

ABSTRACT Extending Jefferson’s analysis of the limited utility of turn-constructional-unit (TCU)-initial particles in managing overlapping talk, this article limits itself to a similar turn-taking context/position in which current speakers bring TCUs to places of possible completion when it is relevant for next speakers to take a turn of talk. This article examines situations in which current speakers continue to audibly inhale in the transition space, arguing that inhalations (a) are pre-beginning actions; (b) bestow a weaker right to speak next than does talk; (c) are not accountable for obscuring next speakers’ talk (if it eventuates); (d) allow for beginning TCUs while monitoring for next speakers’ talk, thereby allowing inhalers to proceed contingently based on next speakers’ unfolding conduct; and (e) are used to mitigate the systemic turn-taking troubles of “no person speaking at a time” and “more than one person speaking at a time.” Data are videotapes of mundane, dyadic, American English conversation.

ABSTRACT This analysis shows how, in horse-riding lessons, riding instructors use prosody and other sound patterns to design their talk for human and equine recipients at the same time, while orienting to distinct contributions from each. Practices for doing so include nonlexical vocalizations, marked prosodic delivery, and conventionalized lexical-prosodic bundles. Parallel recipient design allows turn-holders to pursue a single activity that is to be performed jointly by the recipient pair. Parallel recipient design is shown to be distinct from alternating recipient design, to be found during multiactivity. Parallel recipient design can be delivered consecutively, with talk designed to mobilize the rider followed by talk designed to mobilize the horse; or simultaneously, with lexical items performing one action to the rider and their prosodic delivery performing another action to the horse. The data are recordings of naturally occurring horse-riding lessons, mostly in English; some data are in German, with English translations.

ABSTRACT 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 sequences, commissive–directive sequences, and the negotiation of participation during longer spates of talk. Our ambition is to build a grammar that takes into consideration how talk is used in the real-time unfolding of interaction to do actions and to negotiate relationships. Through a presentation of three formats, we discuss how a grammatical description can be organized, how granular it should be, if and how traditional grammatical categories can be used, and how prosodic and embodied features could be included. Data are in Danish.

ABSTRACT A personality disorder (PD) diagnosis can be considered by a patient to be stigmatizing. This presents interactional challenges for the clinician who makes the diagnosis and communicates it to the patient.Through an analysis of video-recorded clinical interviews of PD patients, we explore the anticipation and delivery of the diagnosis in psychiatry. The method of the study is conversation analysis (CA). The diagnostic evaluation process of each patient extends over a number of clinical interviews. At the beginning of the process, the clinicians speak about the personality disorder diagnosis in an anticipatory manner. At the end of the process, they eventually communicate it to the patients. This analysis focuses on the interactional practices used by psychiatrists to help a patient “save face” when mentioning the (prospective) diagnosis. We demonstrate that both the avoidance and corrective practices of face work occur in the data. Even with these prartices, the delivery of the diagnosis to the patent can lead to conflict. We conclude that, in extended diagnostic evaluation processes, the preparatory work by the clinician is important to secure patient participation.The data for this analysis are in Finnish.

ABSTRACT Completing a sequence of actions is a basic problem of social organization for participants. When a first pair-part is addressed to a not yet fully competent member, such as a young child, a third party can facilitate the completion of the sequence through diverse linguistic, embodied, and material practices. In this article, we examine such sequence facilitation in a perspicuous setting: grandparent-mediated video calls between migrant parents and their left-behind children in China. The analysis shows that the practices of sequence facilitation can have a retrospective or prospective orientation and involve not only linguistic practices, such as repeating the parent’s first pair-part or formulating its action, but also embodied and material practices, such as positioning the camera or physically animating the child’s body. The results shed light on the organization of adjacency pairs in adult–child interactions and the embodied and material circumstances of their production in video-mediated communication. The data were in the Chinese dialects of Sichuan and Guizhou.
