Abstract
This chapter outlines affordances for the study of interaction presented by “multimodal conversation analysis”. Multimodal analysis challenges “classical” Sacksian CA, becoming more sensitive to settings as recording technologies, and orthographies for transcribing actions captured by these, evolve. Refining the granularity of data arguably opens up more phenomena for inquiry than have been explored hitherto. The chapter reviews some of its central texts, suggesting key resources for its study and high-profile publication outlets in the field. Ethnomethodologically indifferent readings of multimodal CA studies produced a mix of both enthusiasm and caution for the authors. Although the range of phenomena within its purview is wide and the execution of analyses is technically impressive, the authors became less convinced by either its EM or CA credentials, developing a more critical approach accordingly. Based upon their engagement with textual presentations cited in this chapter, the authors ask a series of questions intended to stimulate debate regarding the ethnomethodological or constructive analytic status of multimodal analysis.
