Abstract
Working within a naturalistic paradigm for which the notion of "practices" is more apt than "processes," I address the multiplicity of ties between practices of talk-in-interac- tion and the actions which they accomplish. After describing common procedures of data collection and preparation in this mode of inquiry and the "boundary cases" which these procedures may engender, I explore alternative actions which can be rec- ognizably produced by practices of talking ordinarily associated with the action of "initiating repair." Two practices in particular are examined: questioning terms ("huh?," "who?," etc.) and certain forms of repeats. As well, I show that in some con- texts the action of initiating repair can be produced by a practice which does not ordi- narily produce it. The moral of the article is that situated analysis must go hand-in- hand with more formal analysis in order to arrive at satisfactory accounts of discourse practices, and of discourse processes as well.
