Abstract
This article focuses on situated requests, i.e., interactional turns, the aim of which is to have the recipient do something (e.g., hand a tissue, close a door). Requests in face-to-face interaction are produced in complex social-interactional and material settings, where the organization of participation and attention to other ongoing activities are contingencies to be dealt with. We show that participants' use of space, material objects, and the positioning of bodies in the prebeginnings of request turns (i.e., immediately before the verbal production of turns) are important means used in addressing such contingencies. The data are drawn from video recordings of casual face-to-face and in-car conversations in English.
