ABSTRACT
Participants in interaction routinely make available their orientations to, and thus understandings of, the moment-by-moment contingencies of unfolding actions. Conversation analysis (CA) is centrally concerned with excavating the constituent and organizing features of these collaborative efforts. How do specific kinds of actions get brought off as demonstrably relevant by and for participants? What is the distinctive, methodical, and achieved character of any given spate of interaction? On what resources do participants rely in contributing to and providing solutions for immediate interactional circumstances?
