Abstract
In this study, we explore the relevance of granularity to the study of grammar-in-interaction, with special reference to the writing of an online grammar (cf. Steensig, et al. 2023). In CA/IL research, it routinely occurs that a form or action is described and analyzed at one level of detail, and then subsequent research reveals that that form/action actually displays meaningful and ordered variation that deserves more focused examination. Here we summarize previous studies which reveal the significance of more granular descriptions, and we discuss our maxim — arising from Sacks’ claim that there is ‘order at all points’ — that the more granular our analytic approaches are, the more granular our understandings of forms and actions will become.
