Abstract
This study examines L2 interaction in order to explore the possible scope of a social-interactionist perspective on the notion of language play. By analyzing how second language learners deploy typed turns, sequences thereof, and their underlying preference structure, this study shows that language learners are able to recognize turns and the orderliness of turn-taking on a meta-level by consciously, systematically, and collaboratively manipulating them as objects and patterns. When conceptualizing language as both action and game from the outset, a two-fold notion of play arises from the data, namely play as a marked activity versus play as a basic condition of social interaction.
