-|Abstract=The practical problems which members face, (..) in doing descriptions, consist of collaboratively furnishing those descriptions with a for-all-practical-purposes' definiteness of sense. These practical tasks are based in the indexical and reflexive features of natural language (...) the term 'glossing practices' highlights the sense in which members' actions are addressed to practical exigencies. The methodic practices that go into glossing are premissed for members in the assurance that they can mean, and can count upon meaning 'more than they can say in just so many words'. Garfinkel and Sacks (1970) have elaborately demonstrated that conversational formulations, as instances of such 'glossing practices', exhibit and count upon those self-same properties vis-a-vis the 'rest' of the conversation. These properties articulate the embeddedness of formulations in the 'scenic' features established in and through the 'rest' of the conversation. Thus neither formulations nor other 'glossing practices' in any sense constitute a Once-and-for-all' resolution for the practical tasks of describing, but essentially preserve or reestablish the relevancies (for members) inherent in the practical management of descriptions.
