Abstract

In what follows, I sketch the contours of several generic organizations of practice central to the conduct of interaction, and, more specifically, that form of interaction that is distinctive to humans – talk in interaction. These practices are: (1) taking turns-at-talking and their construction and uptake; (2) the achievement of courses of action and their recognition in those turns; (3) the recognition and resolution of trouble in constructing (on the one hand) and grasping (on the other hand) such turns in their sequences; and (4) the cumulation of such turns and their sequences into various forms of interactional occasions, whether brief and passing encounters or long, sustained occasions of co-presence. These resources are then brought to bear on the undertaking of cross-cultural regularities, and the implications for human cognition with respect to action recognition and so-called “Theory of Mind.”
