Abstract

Participants in interaction have ways of seeking information such that the activity appears to be something other than seeking information. One type of occasion in which participants seek information without going on record is when they anticipate that the co-participant might make unwanted inferences had they asked directly. In using off-the-record information seeking strategies, participants attempt to avoid the negative inferences that their co-participants possibly might have made.

In situations in which a participant uses an information seeking strategy that seems designed to lessen the threat of the co-participant's making unwanted inferences, those strategies are not necessarily successful. What happens when an initial off-the-record information seeking attempt is not successful? One option for the participant is to employ a different information seeking method or format. If the participant employs an on-the-record information seeking method or format, he or she may incorporate different methods to deal with concerns about negative inferences.

Prof. Pomerantz will discuss two case studies. The first case involves a patient who wanted to find out his blood pressure reading during the medical consultation. His initial attempt was formatted as a clarification of the doctor's report; his subsequent attempt was an on-the-record inquiry with an accompanying account for asking. The second case concerns a friend who attempted to seek information from a friend about her activities on the previous evening. Her initial attempt was a my side telling; the subsequent attempt was an on-the record inquiry. Prof. Pomerantz will conclude the talk with comments on the analytic concept of 'alternatives.'
