Abstract
This monograph represents most of the work that I have so far done in occasioned semantics, which is an attempt to analyze meaning structures in recorded, transcribed talk in a systematic way. As presently conceived, occasioned semantics deals with co- categorization and contrast, hierarchy (inclusiveness and subsumption), and scaling in actual talk. My work on categorical hierarchy, co-categorization, and contrast, as represented in taxonomic form, is rather more advanced than my work on scaling, so this volume is devoted to taxonomic relations. (I am planning eventually to produce a second volume, devoted to scaling.) Following Harvey Sacks approach to category analysis, I attend to how categories are invoked, constructed, and used on particular occasions, with constant attention to the here-and-now, sequential and indexical properties of the talk. So, the taxonomies (and, eventually, scales) that I deal with are occasioned taxonomies (and occasioned scales).
