Abstract
This chapter shows how workers initiate interactions in a complex workplace setting: a construction site. It focuses on encounters involving an ambulatory party and a (generally) stationary party. Three practices for approaching and initiating interaction are described—direct, oblique, and restricted approaches—each of which has particular implications for the interactions that they precede. Participants are shown orienting to trajectory and proximity as constitutive features of ambulatory openings. This chapter also considers “anticipatory openings”: opening turns issued by a party who sees that they are being approached, and which anticipates the likely reason for their being approached. The analysis is based on 80 openings in English and Spanish, identified in 10+ hours of video recordings of construction site activities.
