Abstract

Conversation-analytic studies have noted various preferences that operate across different dimensions of interaction. These preferences operate on alternative forms or actions by favoring one over another. This article discusses preferences by focusing on two dimensions of interaction. The first is preferences in person reference, where the preference for minimization and the preference for recipient design determine the person reference form. The second is preferences in action sequence, where agreeing actions are preferred over disagreeing actions, each of which exhibits distinct formal features. Finally, this article suggests that other constraints may interfere with conversational preferences.
