Abstract
In this paper we identify continuities between Goffman's analysis of stigma and of forms of talk, arguing that conversational competence and incompetence among the mentally handicapped can be viewed as occasioned accomplishments directed towards their attempts to manage their 'spoiled identity' as stigmatized persons. Although conversations among the mentally handicapped follow the structure of ordinary conversational interaction, conversations between them and others evince more incompetence, suggesting that their stigmatization is itself partly accomplished in and through the occasioned display of conversational competence and incompetence.
