Abstract
In this paper, we want to analyze the basic elements found in a set of directions given by one person to another, in response to the question, "Can you tell me how to get (from here to) there?" The analysis is undertaken in order to make sense of an everyday activity, understand its constituent elements, and systematically analyze it so that it can be understood by those who engage in it as well as by those who are 'merely' observers of it. (...) The approach followed here seeks to determine the structure of directions as given by anyone, acting as a director, to anyone else, acting as a recipient. No empirical generalizations are sought concerning the usual or most frequent form of directions or when and where certain kinds of directions are given; rather, we seek to discover the basic elements of a set of directions without which the set would not be recognized as adequate by those who give and receive directions.
