Abstract
This paper explores some methodological and empirical issues concerning phonetic detail and phonetic variability and the work they accomplish in talk-in-interaction. I argue that if we wish to explicate how phonetic design contributes to the meaning of utterances we need to develop a more refined understanding of phonetic detail and its relationships with «context» and «communicative function». I show that by paying close attention to «sequential context» it is possible to document the variable relevancies and communicative functions of phonetic parameters.
