Abstract
This paper is one of a collection of concerted efforts to locate the systemati- cally regular features of conversation in natural settings. Conversation is serial. For example, amongst two. parties, party A will talk first, then party B, then A, then B, etc. In two party conversations, turns at talk constitute a series of alternately produced utterances: ABABAB. Overlaying this serial arrangement of parties utterances are discretely characterizable conversa- tional Sequences. One research tactic for the discovery of systematically regular features of conversation has consisted of locating such conversa- tional Sequences embedded in the ongoing interaction. In this paper, we shall inspect a Sequence commonly used for the transfer of Instructions in natural settings. We shall eventually characterize the Sequential features as comprising an Instructional Structure.
