Abstract

This study shows that the expression of noncomprehension is a complex action dealt with skillfully and delicately by students in a graduate seminar. There is a noticeable orientation toward the delay of explicit admission. There is also a clear orientation toward offering an account of attempted understanding. Operating in concert with the delay and account is the appeal for group assistance. Based on such delay, account, and appeal, I argue for a dispreference for expressing noncomprehension in a graduate seminar. I also contend that instantiated in the conversation practices mobilized to accomplish the expression of noncomprehension are the speakers’ novice status in an institution of higher learning, their transitional identity as independent practitioners in the making, as well as their role as individual achievers within a collaborative context.
