Abstract

At first glance conventionalization may seem to have little in common with the integra- tionist notion of ‘radical indeterminacy’, but on closer inspection it appears that the glossing practices that support sign-making efforts and assist communicating participants in reducing indeterminacies are in fact situated enactments of conventionalization, and that conventionalization is a dynamic process. In a corpus of Danish conversations, this article studies how participants through metalinguistic discursive examination concurrently establish linguistic facts to their own satisfaction and simultaneously make them the subject of mutual communicative responsibility and continuity. The glossing episodes discussed are well known from conversation analysis as ‘repair’ incidents, but the present study shows them to be constitutive resources for semiological validation rather than transient interactional disruptions.
