Abstract
This virtual special issue presents a collection of papers examining how asymmetries of knowledge and epistemic stance-taking influence turn design in communities in Australia, Tanzania, Mexico and Ecuador. In all cases the communities in focus are ones where it can be assumed that among adult members at least, there is a significant amount of overlapping shared knowledge – what we call ‘small communities’. This issue thus presents a new contribution to a longstanding focus in pragmatics research on how conversational participants take into account not only what they know and what they assume others to know, but also what knowledge they have the rights and responsibility to talk about in designing the production of turns of talk.
