2025 Chapter 2. On granularity in grammar and action 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. 26–46 | Chapter
In this study, we explore the relevance of granularity to the study of grammar-in-interaction, with special reference to the writing of an online grammar (cf. Steensig, et al. 2023). In CA/IL research, it routinely occurs that a form or action is described and analyzed at one level of detail,… read more
2024 What to do next: Should I and ((Do) you) want me to in joint activities in American English New Perspectives in Interactional Linguistic Research, Selting, Margret and Dagmar Barth-Weingarten (eds.), pp. 20–48 | Chapter
The starting point of most prior research on action formation and ascription is either a social action or a linguistic form. In contrast, our study will demonstrate analytic and methodological implications and cross-linguistic perspectives for Interactional Linguistics research of starting with… read more
2024 A multimodal approach to grammatical aspect: Embedded depictions and their aspectual characteristics as interactional resources Interactional Linguistics 4:2, pp. 225–256 | Article
This paper offers a multimodal approach to grammatical aspect, traditionally seen in linguistics as a verbal-morphological category. Using conversation analysis and interactional linguistics, we take as our object of study turn completions done with bodily movements and non-lexical… read more
2024 The DIG Mandarin Conversations (DMC) Corpus: Mundane phone calls in Mandarin Chinese as resources for research and teaching Chinese Language and Discourse 15:1, pp. 105–141 | Article
This paper introduces the DMC Corpus – a newly collected dataset of 150 mundane cell phone calls from Mainland China in Mandarin Chinese (audio and detailed transcripts) – which is now publicly available for use in research and teaching. In this report, we first describe the constitution and… read more
2023 Chapter 8. Code-switching, agency, and the answer possibility space of Spanish-English bilinguals Responding to Polar Questions across Languages and Contexts, Bolden, Galina B., John Heritage and Marja-Leena Sorjonen (eds.), pp. 239–271 | Chapter
The present study addresses the implicit monolingual bias in our understanding of polar question-answer sequences by examining them in bilingual conversation. Drawing upon a corpus of naturally-occurring conversational data amongst native Spanish-English bilinguals in the southwestern United… read more
2022 Suffixation and sequentiality: Notes on the study of morphology in interaction Interactional Linguistics 2:1, pp. 1–41 | Article
This paper offers some reflections on the study of morphology – broadly speaking, ‘word formation’ – as a participants’ resource in social interaction. I begin by calling attention to morphology as a comparatively underexamined component of linguistic structure by conversation analysts and… read more
2021 The grammar of proposals for joint activities Interactional Linguistics 1:1, pp. 123–151 | Article
The action of proposing has been studied from various perspectives in research on talk-in-interaction, both in mundane as well as in institutional talk. Aiming to exemplify Interactional Linguistics as a drawing together of insights from Linguistics and Conversation Analysis, we explore the… read more
2020 Chapter 6. Asserting no-problemness in Spanish: ‘No hay (ningún) problema’ and the study of noun phrases in interaction The ‘Noun Phrase’ across Languages: An emergent unit in interaction, Ono, Tsuyoshi and Sandra A. Thompson (eds.), pp. 119–152 | Chapter
While much is known about noun phrases from morphosyntactic and typological perspectives, the study of nominal elements in interaction is just beginning. We contribute to this new area by exploring the interactional functions of the Spanish indefinite determiner ningún (‘any’, ‘no’) in the… read more
2018 Chapter 3. Bueno-, pues-, and bueno-pues-prefacing in Spanish conversation Between Turn and Sequence: Turn-initial particles across languages, Heritage, John and Marja-Leena Sorjonen (eds.), pp. 59–96 | Chapter
This chapter reports on two turn-initial particles in Spanish: bueno and pues. While previous research has equated both of these to well-prefacing in English in that they project “unexpectedness”, here the aim is to explicate the distinct interactional work that each particle performs. Focusing on… read more
2016 Reconceptualizing identity and context in the deployment of forms of address Forms of Address in the Spanish of the Americas, Moyna, María Irene and Susana Rivera-Mills (eds.), pp. 267–288 | Article
This methodological study uses naturally occurring interaction to examine the roles of identity and context in the selection of forms of address in Spanish. While many previous investigations have taken the stance that these aspects of interactions and speakers are static or fixed, the present… read more
The Mandarin rising-intoned Éi ( 诶 ) particle in third position: A change-of-state token marking an epistemic discrepancy Functions of Language: Online-First Articles | Article
This paper offers an analysis of rising-intoned éi in Mandarin conversation, specifically as it is produced in the wake of question-answer sequences. Examining the particle’s use both as a stand-alone unit implementing its own action, and as a preface to additional turn components and the… read more
