Abstract

A rigid empirical and phenomenologically based methodology provides for con- versation analysis' advantages over other approaches to the study of discourse. This superiority, however, is seriously flawed at one point: CA misconstrues the indispensable role interpretation plays for the analysis of discourse. It therefore neglects the preconditions and the effects by which the analysts' knowledge in- evitably shapes the process and the results of conversation analytic studies. One sort of knowledge that is most important in this respect is ethnographic know- ledge. It is shown that there are several systematic issues which favor or even re- quire ethnographic knowledge to be used in order to improve and validate a con- versation analytic study. The paper closes with a discussion of criteria for the adequacy to appeal to bits of ethnographic knowledge when analysing talk-in-inter- action.
