Abstract
This chapter examines French oké and Italian occhei as resources with which interactants manage transitions from one course of action to another. It analyzes different kinds of institutional interactions, such as work meetings, political assemblies, and guided visits in French and Italian. In these settings, participants use OKAY within extended “transition phases”, situated in specific multimodal, material and spatial environments. This chapter shows that the sequential positions of OKAY are sensitive to co-occurring embodied conduct, giving rise to complex multimodal arrangements. Transitions from one course of action to another are multimodally accomplished within the local ecology of the interaction: the use of OKAY plays a crucial part in this accomplishment.
