Abstract
(...) I address numbers and statistics in terms of proving certain types of CA claims, with the hope of clarifying ambiguity and increasing analytic rigor. I begin by reviewing CA’s conception of order and then outline two different, yet interre- lated, CA projects: analyzing single cases and documenting practices of action. The latter project involves claims about communication rules that generate regular patterns of understanding and interactional organization. As such, achieving this goal involves evidentiary requirements that implicate numbers and statistics. Con- versation analysts should (perhaps reluctantly) find these requirements to bemeth- odologically acceptable, although they are neither easily nor typically satisfied, at least in single articles/chapters.
