Abstract
Using the methodology of conversation analysis, this study explores how the ascribability of high-granularity seeing is organized in interactions. It focuses on the practice of repeating a word or phrase with a fixed gaze (finely coordinated with the temporal unfolding of an event at which the speaker gazes) as an exemplar practice that embodies high-granularity seeing. The high-granularity seeing embodied by the practice (“seeing the continuous temporal development of an action or movement”) becomes relevant at specific sequential positions where some trouble is occurring or expectable in complying with an instructional request. It also accomplishes “specifically attending to an individual in (potential) trouble” in a way appropriate to the ongoing activity. The ascribability of high-granularity seeing is a constitutive part of the implementation of a specific action in a specific interactional context. The data are in Japanese with English translation.
