2018 Chapter 15. Justifying departures from progressivity: The Danish turn-initial particle altså Between Turn and Sequence: Turn-initial particles across languages, Heritage, John and Marja-Leena Sorjonen (eds.), pp. 445–476 | Chapter
This chapter investigates the use of the Danish particle altså in turn-initial position. Turn-initial altså can be employed for prefacing a wide range of actions, including self- and other-initiated repair, questions, second stories and answers to both yes/no and wh-questions. We show that across… read more
2017 Chapter 5. Three imperative action formats in Danish talk-in-interaction: The case of imperative + modal particles bare and lige Imperative Turns at Talk: The design of directives in action, Sorjonen, Marja-Leena, Liisa Raevaara and Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen (eds.), pp. 139–173 | Chapter
In Danish talk-in-interaction, imperative verbs often occur together with modal particles. This paper investigates three such combinations of imperatives and modal particles. We argue that the combinations are best understood as separate social action formats performing different actions in… read more
2015 Concessions in audiology Producing and Managing Restricted Activities: Avoidance and withholding in institutional interaction, Chevalier, Fabienne H.G. and John Moore (eds.), pp. 337–367 | Article
Previous studies of clinical settings show that patients exhibit an orientation towards an institutional restriction against them proposing treatment solutions for their medical condition. In this paper we demonstrate how that restriction is relaxed in a particular clinical setting, that of… read more
2014 Mapping the epistemic landscape in innovation workshops Pragmatics and Society 5:2, pp. 191–220 | Article
This article addresses the epistemic domain of adult make-believe activities in innovation workshops. In particular, we demonstrate how adults initiate imaginary transformations of objects while displaying an orientation to a general order of make-believe in which everyone has equal epistemic… read more
2014 On the interactional ecology of objects Interacting with Objects: Language, materiality, and social activity, Nevile, Maurice, Pentti Haddington, Trine Heinemann and Mirka Rauniomaa (eds.), pp. 3–26 | Article
The empirical studies of this book examine how objects feature in the momentto-moment conduct of social interaction and activity. The studies draw on naturally occurring data, video recordings of people interacting with one another as they engage with objects for a wide range of purposes, across… read more
2014 Organising the soundscape: Participants’ orientation to impending sound when turning on auditory objects in interaction Interacting with Objects: Language, materiality, and social activity, Nevile, Maurice, Pentti Haddington, Trine Heinemann and Mirka Rauniomaa (eds.), pp. 145–168 | Article
This chapter examines two auditory objects, i.e. devices that produce sounds when in use: audio entertainment systems and vacuum cleaners. Despite their apparent differences, both objects raise similar relevancies for how and when they are employed. The chapter demonstrates that participants treat… read more
2014 The social and moral work of modal constructions in granting remote requests Requesting in Social Interaction, Drew, Paul and Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen (eds.), pp. 145–170 | Article
Previous research has established that participants in interaction distinguish between those requests that can be satisfied immediately and those that are to be satisfied at some point in the future. Whereas immediate requests can be granted simply by the recipient carrying out the requested… read more
2013 When ‘yes’ is not enough – as an answer to a yes/no question Units of Talk – Units of Action, Szczepek Reed, Beatrice and Geoffrey Raymond (eds.), pp. 207–242 | Article
This article investigates confirming answers to yes/no questions that consist of more than the type-conforming ‘yes’ token. The study is based on 160 cases of question-answer sequences with confirming answers, taken from a corpus of Danish interactions. The authors claim that certain actions, which… read more
