ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the on-screen captions of the panellists whose categorisation implies some form of scientific expertise. This chapter focuses on the categorical and sequential dimensions of a setting are then not theoretically grounded. The chapter suggests the interest of targeting phenomena that can probably only be approached through such incomplete praxiological analyses. The endogenous articulation of categorial and sequential phenomena was first demonstrated through Sacks' seminal lectures, but has been largely neglected by conversation analysis, and its focus on the sequential organisation. In short, the analysis is expected to exhibit how the specificity of a single political television debate is constituted. However, this analytic focus does not imply neglecting the sequential organisation of the examined occasion. It analysis briefly examines the answers given by the two panellists to see how they treat the categorisation that was used in and through the question. The Swiss political system is referred to as direct' or semi-direct' democracy.
