Abstract

In continuation of recent discussions in JoP and elsewhere concerning the aptness of conversation analysis (“CA”) as a research methodology for “intercultural” interaction, this CA-study shows some procedures by which interactants overtly or covertly orient to regional or linguistic category membership where apparent trouble in hearing or understanding the talk are addressed (“other-initiated repair” [Language 54 (2) (1977) 361]). These practices of membership categorizing are inferred from different kinds of structural elaborateness beyond the basic two-part repair sequence. CA is shown to provide analytic tools which are highly suitable to detecting and describing practices of membership categorizing along regional or linguistic lines both in so-called “native/native” and “native/nonnative” interaction.
