Abstract
This article addresses the issue of the conversational floor. Using data from
classroom discourse, covering a wide range of floor related phenomena, the authors propose a concept of the floor that ties it to the activity in hand, and the local flexible organization of talk within that activity. After beginning with a short review of current work relating to the conversational floor, discussion turns to extracts from data as examples of various types of activities requir- ing different structures of participation. The aim is to move from binary def- initions of the floor, particularly the opposition between one-at-a-time and collaborative, and toward a conceptualization of the floor as a continuum be- tween "tighter" and "looser" organizations of talk in the activity.
