Abstract
The following argument is presented, and illustrated with sociological, particularly conversational, data. Culture is methodological rather than substantive. For language specifically, conversational analysis, as pragmatics, is prior to semantics and syntax: that is, the sense and reference of an utterance part is dependent upon what action the utterance is performing in the talk; identifying that action is given by the place of the utterance in the various structures of conversational organization; the matching of utterance and action via structural place is achieved reflexively, a fact which guarantees the analyzability of conversation by professional observers.
