Abstract
This paper reports findings of research into the organizational structure of ordinary conversation. Substantively, the paper is preoccupied with building rigorous descriptions of transcribed conversational materials; a technical appreciation of the action sequences organizing chunks of talk into meaningful interactional units is developed as increasingly non-intuitive observations detail the systematic expansions of three turn action sequences into four, five, and six turn action sequences. Methodologically, the paper is built as a series of progressively more formal characterizations of the interaction captured in the transcript; an analytic appreciation of a research mentality committed to close scrutiny of actually occurring instances of conversation emerges as successive phenomenal layers receive attention.
