Abstract
All human activities unfold temporally, and all actions as organisational constituents of a distinct activity are formed and ascribed as such in the sequential context in which they are performed. One general issue is how sequential-contextual features contribute to the formation and ascription of a particular action-type, while another is what, if any, basic sequential organisations look like that generate the orderliness of each temporally unfolding activity. This chapter first explains three main sequential organisations of talk-in-interaction that conversation analysis has explicated, that is, turn-taking, sequence, and repair organisations, and then illustrates how actions are formed and become ascribable in manners sensitive to their sequential positions within these organisations. All actions in talk-in-interaction are implemented within a turn-at-talk, which, in turn, is positioned within a sequence of turns. For example, an answerer to another’s question has to address at least two practical issues: (a) how the answer should be tied to the implementation of the question within the preceding turn, and (b) how it should be sequentially implemented within the current turn. In conclusion, potentialities of such analysis will be discussed, including how other interactional resources than talk can be sequentially analysed.
