Emergent Syntax for Conversation: Clausal patterns and the organization of action
Edited by Yael Maschler, Simona Pekarek Doehler, Jan Lindström and Leelo Keevallik
This volume explores how emergent patterns of complex syntax – that is, syntactic structures beyond a simple clause – relate to the local contingencies of action formation in social interaction. It examines both the on-line emergence of clause-combining patterns as they are ‘patched together’ on… read more[Studies in Language and Social Interaction, 32] 2020. vi, 343 pp.
Time and Emergence in Grammar: Dislocation, topicalization and hanging topic in French talk-in-interaction
Simona Pekarek Doehler, Elwys De Stefani and Anne-Sylvie Horlacher
This monograph examines how language contributes to the social coordination of actions in talk-in-interaction. Focusing on a set of frequently used constructions in French (left-dislocation, right-dislocation, topicalization, and hanging topic), the study provides an empirically rich contribution… read more[Studies in Language and Social Interaction, 28] 2015. x, 275 pp.

[EUROSLA Yearbook, 3] 2003.
2025 Chapter 10. CA-SLA: Investigating L2 interactional competence and L2 grammar-for-interaction — principles and methods Approaches and Methods in French Second Language Acquisition Research, Howard, Martin (ed.), pp. 234–260 | Chapter
Second language interactional competence has for long remained out of the focal concerns of research on second language acquisition (SLA). Over the past two decades, however, the field has seen emerge a prominent line of conversation-analytic (CA) SLA research investigating the procedures and… read more
2025 Chapter 11. An interactional grammar of insubordination: The case of French si ‘if’-clauses Grammar in Action: Building comprehensive grammars of talk-in-interaction, Steensig, Jakob, Maria Jørgensen, Jan Lindström, Nicholas Mikkelsen, Karita Suomalainen and Søren Sandager Sørensen (eds.), pp. 332–365 | Chapter
We take French si ‘if’-clauses as an exemplary case to reflect on how questions about the structures of a language can be fruitfully addressed by considering the conversational actions that speakers accomplish by means of these structures. We demonstrate that an interactional perspective has the… read more

Becoming a Member in Social Worlds
: The interface of learning and socialization in L2 interactions, Skogmyr Marian, Klara and Simona Pekarek Doehler (eds.), pp. 100–131 | Article La présente étude vise à contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de la relation entre l’acquisition d’une langue seconde (L2) et l’évolution des rapports sociaux que l’apprenant·e entretient avec autrui. Ancrée dans l’Analyse Conversationnelle, l’investigation porte sur la manière dont Julie,… read more
2024 How grammar-for-interaction emerges over time: Evidence from second language talk New Perspectives in Interactional Linguistic Research, Selting, Margret and Dagmar Barth-Weingarten (eds.), pp. 334–359 | Chapter
This paper argues for a broadening of the analytic scope of Interactional Linguistics (IL) to embrace systematic investigation into how grammar grows out of social interaction longitudinally. While IL has amply documented the ways in which grammar structures interaction and emerges locally in… read more
2023 L2 interactional competence and assessment: Insights and challenges – a discussion paper Describing and assessing interactional competence in a second language: Special issue of the journal of Applied Pragmatics 5:2 (2023), Betz, Emma, Taiane Malabarba and Dagmar Barth-Weingarten (eds.), pp. 280–288 | Discussion
2022 Navigating the complex social ecology of screen-based activity in video-mediated interaction Pragmatics 32:1, pp. 54–79 | Article
Task-oriented video-mediated interaction takes place within a complex digital-social ecology which presents, to participants, a practical problem of social coordination: How to navigate, in mutually accountable ways, between interacting with the remote co-participants and scrutinizing one’s own… read more
2021 Linguistic structures in social interaction: Moving temporality to the forefront of a science of language Interactional Linguistics 1:1, pp. 2–32 | Article
In this introductory paper to the inaugural volume of the journal Interactional Linguistics, we raise the question of what a theory of language might look like once we factor time into explanations of regularities in linguistic phenomena. We first present a historical overview that… read more
2020 Chapter 1. Complex syntax-in-interaction: Emergent and emerging clause-combining patterns for organizing social actions Emergent Syntax for Conversation: Clausal patterns and the organization of action, Maschler, Yael, Simona Pekarek Doehler, Jan Lindström and Leelo Keevallik (eds.), pp. 1–22 | Chapter
2020 Chapter 11. Relative-clause increments and the management of reference: A multimodal analysis of French talk-in-interaction Emergent Syntax for Conversation: Clausal patterns and the organization of action, Maschler, Yael, Simona Pekarek Doehler, Jan Lindström and Leelo Keevallik (eds.), pp. 303–330 | Chapter
In this paper we propose a reanalysis of relative clauses in French talk-in-interaction as part of “grammar for talk implementing action” (Schegloff, 1996: p. 113). Our analytic focus is on relative clauses produced as increments, i.e., cases where the [main clause + relative clause] pattern… read more
2020 Chapter 3. Emergent complex noun phrases: On-line trajectories of ‘relativized’ NPs in French talk-in-interaction The ‘Noun Phrase’ across Languages: An emergent unit in interaction, Ono, Tsuyoshi and Sandra A. Thompson (eds.), pp. 43–70 | Chapter
In this paper, we document the temporal and contingent nature of noun phrases (NPs). Focusing on relativized NPs, we show that they are produced as an interactional accomplishment, emerging from how participants adapt to each other’s verbal and non-verbal conduct. Based on 20 hours of French… read more
2015 Grammar, projection and turn-organization: il y a NP ‘there is NP’ as project construction in French talk-in-interaction Temporality in Interaction, Deppermann, Arnulf and Susanne Günthner (eds.), pp. 173–200 | Article
This paper contributes to the debate over the temporal and emergent nature of grammar. Focusing on projection as a basis for clause-combining and the organization of actions, the paper explores speakers’ use of the French construction il y a NP ‘there is NP’, commonly considered to be part of a… read more
2014 ‘Pivotage’ in French talk-in-interaction: On the emergent nature of [clause-np-clause] pivots Approaches to grammar for interactional linguistics, Laury, Ritva, Marja Etelämäki and Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen (eds.), pp. 593–622 | Article
French talk-in-interaction shows a recurrent patterning of utterances that can schematically be presented as [clause-NP-clause], as in ellei va s’effacer l’imagei ellei va s’effacer (‘iti is going to fade away the image,i iti is going to fade away)’, where i signals co-indexicality. In this… read more
2014 SMS communication as plurilingual communication: Hybrid language use as a challenge for classical code-switching categories SMS Communication: A linguistic approach, Cougnon, Louise-Amélie and Cédrick Fairon (eds.), pp. 111–139 | Article
The use of more than one language in SMS communication is widespread, yet has remained relatively underexplored in the existing research. In this paper we ask: What methodological and conceptual tools are needed for empirically investigating code-switching in large databases of SMS communication?… read more
2013 Social-interactional approaches to SLA: A state of the art and some future perspectives Language, Interaction and Acquisition 4:2, pp. 134–160 | Article
In this paper I address the current state of the art in social-interactional research on SLA. I first provide a brief outline of the historical development of those lines of research that are commonly subsumed under the (broad) heading of ‘social-interactional approaches’, and I discuss their… read more

2011 Clause-combining and the sequencing of actions: Projector constructions in French talk-in-interaction Subordination in Conversation: A cross-linguistic perspective, Laury, Ritva and Ryoko Suzuki (eds.), pp. 103–148 | Article
This paper extends recent discussions on projector constructions to another language (French), and to a further set of linguistic formats. I propose a reanalysis, in the light of the sequential organization of actions, of the je veux dire ‘I want to say’+ complement clause pattern, the il y a… read more
