Abstract
An abiding concern for critics of the ethnomethodological approach to discourse analysis has been that it has failed to acknowledge macro-social and political functions of discourse. In this paper, Hartland begins to ask whether indeed a piecemeal ethnomethodological analysis can take such matters into account, by examining trial transcripts as instances of documents produced by and for State procedures without, at the same time, lapsing into ungrounded speculations. He reaches a forceful conclusion about the nexus between conversational transcripts and the very production of the State itself.
