|Abstract=This study presents a phonetic analysis of repetitions occurring in other-initiated repair sequences in American English. Despite their lexical similarities, the repairs are shown to have 2 distinct phonetic patterns. These patterns correspond systematically with a sequential and interactional difference between fitted and disjunct trouble source turns. Trouble source turns that are fitted are repeated more loudly and have expanded pitch ranges, longer durations, and changes to the articulatory settings. Trouble source turns that are disjunct are repeated more quietly and have nonexpanded pitch ranges, shorter durations, and no major differences in articulation. These turns may provide an example of a way in which the levels of linguistic organization are split, with reproduction of lexico-syntax handling a possible problem in hearing, whereas the phonetics display an orientation to the sequential fittedness of the turn being repaired. This research highlights the interrelationship of phonetic structure and sequence organization.

|Abstract=In pediatric medical visits, parents may assume the role of co-caregiver with clinicians. At times, parents challenge physicians’ authority to determine diagnoses and treatments for their children. The present study uses conversation analysis to examine parents’ accounts for their intrusions on medical authority in a corpus of 35 video-recorded pediatric neurology visits for overnight video-electroencephalogram monitoring. I show how parents can exploit their legitimate role as carers to challenge medical authority. Through invoking uncertainty in contexts where they have somehow challenged medical authority, parents can account for their conduct in ways that elide direct conflict with physicians and thereby minimize damage to the physician–family partnership.

|Abstract=Background and objective: The time between diagnosis with a mild neurocognitive disorder (MND) and definitive loss of decisional capacity presents a window of opportunity to participate in advance care planning (ACP). To implement early planning, we need to know how to promote healthy relationships between people with MND and their healthcare proxies. Our objective is to examine how people with MND and their proxies discuss engagement in ACP and how proxies orient towards the ability and right of the person with MND to provide answers.

Research design and methods: We undertake a conversation analysis of an interview related to ACP between a researcher, a person with MND and their proxy, recorded in Switzerland.

Results: The way in which the proxy and the researcher orient to the person with MND changes throughout the interview. In the beginning, they recognize the person with MND as a knowledgeable and competent participant (facilitating answers or allowing her to speak first). Later, practices bypass the speakership primacy of the person with MND (correcting or describing her as dependent). The person with MND sometimes resists these stances, for example by contradicting her proxy's answer.

Discussion and Implications: Our study contributes to understandings of how the epistemic rights of a person with MND to participate and provide information within interactions are constructed variably. This has implications for promoting the people with MND's individual and relational autonomy in interactions and decision-making and developing awareness-raising resources about how to improve the conditions of decisional autonomy of people with MND.

|DOI=10.3389/fcomm.2026.1731835
|Abstract=What counts as a preferred or dispreferred answer to a question and how can it be recognized? These questions have been widely discussed in conversation analysis in recent years, and some well-established diagnostic features of dispreferred answers have been identified. In this paper, we turn to a less well-established feature: gaze aversion. Kendrick & Holler (2017) have previously suggested that answers to polar questions that invert the question's polarity are accompanied by gaze aversion to a statistically significant extent. They argue that this gaze aversion indicates the answer's dispreferred status. We were able to replicate their findings using a large collection of English and German conversational data for polar question-answer sequences. However, we found an even stronger tendency for the answerer to avert their gaze during or after wh-questions, for which, per definition, the concept of preference in terms of polarity matching does not apply. Therefore, we extended the focus of our study to both polar and wh-questions and to alternative concepts of preference: type conformity and pragmatic preference. Only the latter was found to be associated with gaze aversion in a statistically significant way. Thus, we considered an alternative explanation for answerers' gaze aversion, also suggested by Kendrick and Holler (2017): answer complexity. Logistic regression analysis revealed that answer complexity, measured by the number of TCUs and absolute length, as well as hesitations, are significant predictors of gaze aversion, while none of the preference types are. These results demonstrate that gaze aversion does not index dispreference so much as it indexes that a complex answer is about to follow.

|Abstract=Ordinary yet morally ambiguous and complex human-robot interactions (HRI) are anticipated to become more commonplace as sophisticated robots begin appearing in everyday life. Unlike the extreme, unfamiliar and high stakes ‘life-or-death’ binary choices seen in the Trolley Problem thought experiments of the self-driving car, ordinary interactions are instead quotidian and familiar. Yet these interactions can be interpreted very differently by different users and there are many possible better or worse responses. Responses by the robot can also steer the interaction in an irreversible and undesirable direction. In a theoretical context that primarily focuses on issues of safety and privacy in artificial intelligence, the ethics of ordinary interactions remains under-explored in HRI. In this article, ‘The Ubi Problem’ study poses twenty-six commonplace scenarios that a reading companion robot, ‘Ubi’ and its client, a young child that it is reading to, would likely encounter in the open environment of a public library. After viewing the visual storyboards of these scenarios and through a participatory focus group discussion, expectations of what Ubi should do were drawn out and examined collectively. Findings from this study suggest that these ordinary interactions pose a number of under-explored ethical challenges in HRI. However, the most salient aspects of these challenges can be visualized, examined, and anticipated using the research strategy of ‘The Ubi Problem’. In turn, this suggests that robot designers and communities employing advanced social robots can rely on the approach of ‘The Ubi Problem’ to improve their foresight and to avoid costly pitfalls.

|Abstract=This work documents how roboticists’ skilled conversational expertise is unavoidably constrained and guided as it is translated into rule-based robots through specific programming tools. To shed light on the social construction of “social” robots, it documents the (material) agency of tools used to script or program robots within the technology company Aldebaran (formerly Softbank Robotics Europe), which specialized in manufacturing and programming the social robots Pepper and NAO and their conversational AI. Conducted over the course of several years among roboticists, this ethnography investigates how programming tools—their variables, publicly exposed events, hierarchy of information, available data streams, and documentation—facilitated the crafting of specific forms of talk (among many) for Pepper. Two types of constraints are examined: those encountered by roboticists when crafting disfluencies and filled pauses (“uhh”) in Pepper’s speech, and those faced when enabling the robot to “continue speaking” after a silence. These constraints produced “paths of least resistance” toward specific designs for the robot, which, in turn, impacted its competence in situated interaction with “end users”. Crucially, these constraints were not inevitable technical limits, but rather resulted from specific assumptions about language and, in particular, what “conversing with a robot” entails. In other words, roboticists’ tools led to the embedding of linguistic practices and a specific organization of talk into their robot. The study concludes with the continued significance of these “paths of least resistance” (and their underlying assumptions about “what conversing is”) in the era of chatbots based on generative AI.

|Abstract=Rule-breaking occurs in healthcare settings and is typically pro-social. However, rule-breaking within a hospice setting has not been previously studied. This study investigates rule-breaking within hospice multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings using Conversation Analysis. Eight video and audio recordings of approximately 45-minute-long MDT meetings at one UK hospice were systematically analysed to identify how staff break rules. Rule-breaking was present throughout the data and was characterised by the minimisation of accountability through collectivising pronouns, extreme formulations and laughables. These three features supported rule-breakers to voice potentially transgressive opinions and recommendations that may have provoked criticism from MDT members. Rule-breakers were therefore able to evade social and professional sanctions whilst carrying out pro-social actions that benefit hospice patients, meeting participants, as well as the organisation and progression of the meeting itself. These findings contribute to the existing understanding of rule-breaking and have implications for how institutions understand and address it.

|Abstract=This article adds to the sociological study of time and temporality in everyday life by building on recent longitudinal developments within conversation analysis. It investigates members' methods to bring about change within their shared (life) world. It examines how, as part of an extended project of action, one agreement made early on is continually re-evoked, used for accounting purposes, and serves to prepare specific actions. This “item of objectivated knowledge” ties together a series of situations. Thereby, members create shared expectations which serve as resources to solve local action problems and which can be revoked once those problems no longer exist.

|Abstract=Difficulties with communication present a challenge not just for people living with dementia (PLWD) themselves but also for those who care for them. This challenge is amplified in acute care environments with unfamiliar surroundings and staff. Drawing on a wider study using video-recorded data to identify practices to manage or avoid distress for PLWD in the acute hospital, we use conversation analysis to explicate some of the reasons why challenges can arise and consider the implications of this. Previous work has shown that while PLWDs’ transactional ability with language may decline, more foundational skills can still persist, notably abilities to produce responsive talk, which follows the rules of turn-taking and displays an orientation to sequence organization. We show that these abilities can also extend to recognizing the lack of orientation to these features in the talk of others. Examples include PLWD drawing attention to missing or inadequate responses to questions from staff, seeking accounts for unaccounted-for actions, and identifying inappropriate referents. Our findings show that even when PLWD are not oriented to time or place and their talk is hard to interpret semantically, staff should not assume that interactional competence is entirely absent.

|Abstract=How does emotion arise in everyday settings? How can it be studied in the real world?

In this book, Alexa Potter and Jonathan Hepburn introduce a new way of studying emotion though the fine-grained analysis of real interactions. Drawing on conversation analysis and discursive psychology, they show how laughter, crying, anger, and other emotional displays are built turn by turn, and embedded in action, and how they are consequential for subsequent social interactions.

Rather than treating emotion as a private experience communicated through words or tone, emotionography examines how emotion becomes publicly visible and socially powerful through the very fabric of talk. Using detailed case studies, transcripts, and accessible analytic guidance, Potter and Hepburn show how this approach opens new ways of understanding emotion across everyday, institutional, and clinical encounters.

Emotionography brings emotion back into social life, by revealing how our most intimate expressions are shared, structured, and interactionally achieved.

|Abstract=This study deals with L2 interactional competence (L2 IC) and its assessment in pair and group test interactions. When developing and using rubrics for the assessment of L2 IC, language testers and raters face the issue of having to assign separate scores to what is essentially a jointly constructed examinee performance. Driven by conversation analysis as a method for analysing social actions, recent advances in the field have shown that a solution to the problem may lie in a thick description of the various L2 interactional practices and resources that examinees draw on when performing social actions in alternative ways. We contribute to this endeavour by investigating how examinees accomplish the social action of disagreeing with their partners' preceding turn. To do so, we draw on multimodal transcriptions of 66 video-recorded pair and group EFL oral proficiency tests conducted in a higher education setting in Czechia. Employing multimodal conversation analysis, we investigate the sequential unfolding of disagreements and demonstrate that they can be classified into three distinct types based on the semiotic (verbal, prosodic, temporal, embodied) resources employed to both signal and mitigate the incoming dissent. We argue that the design of disagreements constitutes rich ground for examining a learner's active listenership, and hence their L2 IC. Such findings have implications for rater training, construction of assessment rubrics, design of L2 discussion tasks as well as for the teaching of L2 IC in general.

|Abstract=This study examines the social accountability of displaying to burn oneself during naturally occurring joint cooking activities. The sequential, multimodal analysis of responding actions to burn displays allows to discuss publicly available displays of perceptual experiences as related to social action. The study specifies three sequential trajectories following displays of heat-occasioned experiences, including (i) orienting to the unfortunate character of the event, (ii) orienting to issues of responsibility and (iii) questioning the validity of burn displays. The study shows that the question of what observable conduct is physiological and what is social is a members’ problem, including whether, how and to what extent the burn display is proportional to the object’s thermic features, and the sequential and moral implications that the burn display makes relevant. The study contributes to our understanding of retrosequences as a sequence organization that incorporates the relevance of sensorial practices in and for social interaction and of how an EMCA approach to the study of sociality can be particularly productive for further investigating the intricate relation between physiological experiences and the social accountability of action. The participants speak French, Swiss-German and German as first and second language.

|Abstract=In this article, we examine how recruiters and applicants talk about personality tests, reflecting presuppositions about personality and its accessibility. Using video-recorded data from 21 Finnish job interviews, we show how the personality test functions as a discursive object for managing stakes in the recruitment process. When applicants referred to the test after receiving positive evaluations, they emphasized its ability to reveal their personality, thus reinforcing the evaluation. In these moments, both recruiters and applicants treated the test as structured and purposeful. When test talk occurred before receiving results, applicants highlighted the test’s limitations in accessing their personality, creating space to reinterpret outcomes. Recruiters, in contrast, treated the test as a reliable tool, emphasizing its role in identifying inconsistencies in applicants’ conduct. Our findings show that personality tests can both enable and constrain participants’ ability to manage stakes, contributing to the impression of objectivity and truth-finding during job interviews.

|Abstract=In Chinese criminal trials, defendants face the dual tasks of providing information as “an object of interrogation” and defending themselves as a defendant. Against such a backdrop, they face the dilemma of being cooperative and defensive at the same time. This research investigates the practices they use to navigate this dilemma. A corpus linguistic analysis identifies two key features in defendants’ language: negation, and words associated with narration. These point to three main practices: defending with a (partial) denial, accounting for an “unexpected” lack of knowledge, and persuading through an uninvited narrative, practices which are explored through a fine-grained conversation analysis. Linguistic devices such as indirect responses, double verb constructions, extreme case formulations, and the mood adverb “也 (ye)” contribute to the negotiation of the dilemma. It is found that a balance of defence and cooperation is key to a defensive response in the Chinese courtroom.

|Abstract=The design of everyday objects and artefacts, tools and technologies can prove particularly challenging for design. Their very pervasiveness, ease of application and seeming simplicity can mask the complex array of human practice, knowledge and skills that enables their use posing serious implications for critical design research and practice. In this paper, we discuss an undergraduate programme: the Anthropology of the Object developed to encourage and enable students to explore and analyse the complexities that underpin the use and application of everyday tools and implements, the tacit knowledge, reasoning and practice on which participants rely in accomplishing routine actions and activities. The programme includes fine-grained field studies, naturalistic experiments, individual and group projects, to have students both alone and in collaboration with others to begin to discover and analyse the complexities of the commonplace to explore and reflect upon their import and implications and inform their design practices.

|Abstract=This study explores how inferential description relates to expert knowledge by analyzing commentators’ inferential descriptions of players’ visual perceptions and intentions during live volleyball match broadcasts. The analysis revealed that even when the commentator could not provide the viewer with detailed visual evidence of what, when, and how the player perceives their surroundings, they could still make inferences about the player’s visual perception based on their own knowledge. The inference is made to show that a particular play was created with some intention. In addition, such inferential descriptions of visual skills, which conceptually link the player’s perceptions and intentions, are often contrasted with descriptions based on ‘popular vision’. These practices clarify the commentators’ expertise. These findings advance the theory of sports expertise in media studies and science and technology studies (STS) from the perspective of expert practices.

|Abstract=Thus far, few studies have investigated the evaluative points narrators may convey through the sequential features of reported exchanges in their stories. In this article, we conduct a micro-oriented narrative analysis on how epistemic and deontic status-stance relations are depicted by narrators in sequences of reported turns. We thus uncover how hierarchies and potential transgressions between the characters in the storyworld are “shown” rather than “told” to the story recipients, who are in this way equipped to evaluate the story as a whole and the story characters’ accountability for their interactional behavior in particular. Furthermore, we argue that the narrators’ discursive set-up of epistemic and deontic relations in these reported exchanges also displays their emic perspective to them. Therefore we believe that our approach can pave the way for a novel approach to epistemics and deontics, complementing the insights gained in the conversation-analytic examination of these phenomena in situ.

Misfitting, as a concept related to social practice theories, is used to argue the need for a coproduced and flexible approach to research design and data collection. Recommendations include being willing to adapt research methods, data collection locations, and aims of the project to fit participants? competencies, preferences, and realities; spending sufficient time getting to get to know staff and potential participants to build relationships; working round care practices and routines to minimize disruption; and using observational/visual methods can help include people living with dementia at each stage. People with dementia require researchers in the field to be creative in their methods, reflexive in their approach, and person-centered in their goals. Those adaptations can fundamentally change the ways in which the social practice of research is shaped.

|Abstract=The two purposes of this paper are to define the scope of the analytical concept of category and to consider the use of categories in talk. I start by discussing different ways that the concept of category is used in fields such as linguistics and philosophy and arguing that the concept should not be limited to categories of person. I then argue that for a conversation analytic approach to discourse, what is important is that an item is treated by participants either as a category with members or as a member of a category. Next, I examine how structures of categories and category members are built by participants through their talk. Finally, I consider doing definitions as a specific activity which can be accomplished in talk through the construction of categories.

|Abstract=Background and objective: The time between diagnosis with a mild neurocognitive disorder (MND) and definitive loss of decisional capacity presents a window of opportunity to participate in advance care planning (ACP). To implement early planning, we need to know how to promote healthy relationships between people with MND and their healthcare proxies. Our objective is to examine how people with MND and their proxies discuss engagement in ACP and how proxies orient towards the ability and right of the person with MND to provide answers.

Research design and methods: We undertake a conversation analysis of an interview related to ACP between a researcher, a person with MND and their proxy, recorded in Switzerland.

Results: The way in which the proxy and the researcher orient to the person with MND changes throughout the interview. In the beginning, they recognize the person with MND as a knowledgeable and competent participant (facilitating answers or allowing her to speak first). Later, practices bypass the speakership primacy of the person with MND (correcting or describing her as dependent). The person with MND sometimes resists these stances, for example by contradicting her proxy's answer.

Discussion and Implications: Our study contributes to understandings of how the epistemic rights of a person with MND to participate and provide information within interactions are constructed variably. This has implications for promoting the people with MND's individual and relational autonomy in interactions and decision-making and developing awareness-raising resources about how to improve the conditions of decisional autonomy of people with MND.

|Abstract=This paper investigates the phonetic and social organisation of laughter in spoken conversation.

Building on conversation analytic research that highlights laughter as a complex interactional achievement, we examine the phonetic details of laughter in recordings of English, Spanish, and Finnish conversations, and how participants use these details to manage its unfolding in real time.

Our analysis details the internal structure of laughter bouts, including the initiating pulse, exhalation sequence, glottal reset, and final inhalation. We demonstrate phonetic differences between the phases of laughter, and how participants use these details of production to coordinate laughter with each other and with surrounding talk.

Our findings contribute to a more detailed understanding of the phonetic organisation of laughter and its role in the management of social interaction.

|Abstract=This work explores the professional experiences, challenges, and collective identity of scholars within the Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EMCA) community. Through the analysis of survey data from 43 participants, semi-structured interviews with 10 scholars, and the examination of relevant community documents, this research uncovers how EMCA practitioners navigate their academic careers, engage with interdisciplinary networks, and confront institutional challenges. The findings reveal significant issues regarding the marginalization and isolation of EMCA scholars within traditional academic settings, particularly given the unusual and unique status of the field. This study also highlights the problem of gatekeeping within the community, which restricts diversity, especially among scholars from underrepresented regions and backgrounds. The integration of document analysis provides a deeper understanding of the historical and structural contexts influencing the community. Despite the challenges of securing stable academic positions and funding, this study finds that the EMCA community remains intellectually vibrant and collegial, with opportunities for increased interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly in applied fields such as computer science, healthcare, and education. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how institutional practices shape scholarly communities and offers insights into fostering a more inclusive and sustainable academic ecosystem for EMCA scholars by addressing the structural inequalities present in the field.

|Abstract=Over the past decade, a growing effort has been made toward the practical application of findings and insights from Conversation Analysis (CA) in second language (L2) teaching, with the goal of better reflecting actual usage patterns of linguistic and other semiotic resources in real talk. Among key interactional practices described by CA, conversational repair – managing communication troubles as they arise in ongoing interactions – is particularly relevant for beginning L2 learners who frequently encounter problems in hearing, understanding, and speaking. Although L2 textbooks commonly introduce requests such as ‘please say it slowly’, repair initiation techniques prevalent in everyday communication are typically absent. Moreover, existing pedagogical approaches rarely provide hands-on training in these techniques beyond structured drills and role-plays. This study examines a novel approach to teaching conversational repair that engages students in interactional moments through simulated and spontaneous interactions, in which they practice responding to communication difficulties in a timely manner. Teaching conversational repair early not only enables novice learners to participate and negotiate meaning in unrehearsed conversations but also fosters a view of language as a co-constructed, interactionally situated social phenomenon.

|Abstract=This paper examines how secondary victimization is interactionally produced during courtroom cross-examinations of women who have experienced sexual violence. Drawing on Ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis and Membership Categorization Analysis, the study investigates how defense attorneys invoke rape myths and gendered stereotypes to challenge victims' credibility and moral character. Using the extracts of two cross-examinations from the celebrity trial CA v. Winslow II (2019), the results highlight how interactional features of questioning reproduce cultural assumptions that legitimate secondary victimization, constructing victims as unreliable or complicit. The findings highlight the “double bind” faced by women in sexual assault trials: they must appear both emotionally credible and rationally composed to be believed, yet any deviation from this ideal invites disbelief. Methodologically, the paper underscores the underutilized potential of EMCA in legal-linguistic research to reveal how institutional talk reproduces gendered injustice through ordinary conversational practices.

|Abstract=Intense public scrutiny of mothering practices continues to perpetuate unhelpful narratives of maternal smartphone use as ‘risky’ and ‘harmful’, positioning mothers to experience guilt and judgement around their smartphone use. Yet despite this, the ubiquity of digital device ownership means mothers are increasingly using smartphones around their infants (birth–12 months). This article presents a single case analysis of a video-recorded interactional episode between a mother at home with her 3-month old infant and her smartphone. Fine-grained analysis shows how mother and infant co-construct and manage active participation in ‘doing phone use’ while attending to and responding to one another. Attentional and maternal responsivity during smartphone use predominantly has been studied using larger scale, quantitative research designs using social experiments, surveys, self-reports and interviews. These methods preclude capacity for detailed contextual understandings of what is occurring when mothers use smartphones around their infants in their everyday lives. This study uses visual ethnographic methods of video-recorded observations of mother-infant interactions at home during their everyday routines and activities. Using the methodologies of Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EMCA), we illustrate how a mother and her 3-month old infant accomplish moments of mutual attention in the presence of a smartphone. We also illustrate how attention and responsivity is interactionally organised and how the mother displays responsivity even when digital devices are present. Using a qualitative methodological approach offers a reframing that considers the participatory possibilities of maternal smartphone use around infants.
