However, there are at least four, related reasons to assemble collections of cases. First, the significance of any behavior of interest (e.g., a pointing gesture) needs to be understood in terms of social action. Second, all actions are locally situated, at least in terms of their composition (which likely entails behaviors beyond, e.g., a pointing gesture, to a gestalt of behaviors) and sequential position, but often in other ways as well (e.g., epistemics). Third, the analysis of action ascription is more productive when conceptualizing the relationship between practices and actions as one of ‘family resemblances,’ as opposed to ‘one-to-one.’ Fourth, actions are normatively organized, meaning that, although they are regularly produced and understood in particular ways that regularly instantiate particular normative-moral accountabilities that are regularly associated with particular patterns of interactional conduct, irregular productions (i.e., deviations) are strategic and accountable, and thus meaningful. For at least these reasons, collections are necessary insofar as single cases – or even several of them – are often insufficient to comprehensively describe social action. In this talk, I discuss: (1) the importance of collections for conducting socially systematic conversation analysis; and (2) strategies for building collections in ways that support such analysis.
