2021. The grammar of proposals for joint activities. Interactional Linguistics 1:1, pp. 123–151
The action of proposing has been studied from various perspectives in research on talk-in-interaction, both in mundane as well as in institutional talk. Aiming to exemplify Interactional Linguistics as a drawing together of insights from Linguistics and Conversation Analysis, we explore the grammar… read more | Article
2020. Chapter 6. Asserting no-problemness in Spanish: ‘No hay (ningún) problema’ and the study of noun phrases in interaction. The ‘Noun Phrase’ across Languages: An emergent unit in interaction, Ono, Tsuyoshi and Sandra A. Thompson (eds.), pp. 119–152
While much is known about noun phrases from morphosyntactic and typological perspectives, the study of nominal elements in interaction is just beginning. We contribute to this new area by exploring the interactional functions of the Spanish indefinite determiner ningún (‘any’, ‘no’) in the formula… read more | Chapter
2017. Morphological self-repair: Self-repair within the word. Studies in Language 41:3, pp. 638–659
In this study we explore patterns of same-turn self-repair within the word, across ten typologically and areally diverse languages. We find universal processes emerging through language-specific resources, namely: recycling is used to delay a next item due, while replacement is used to replace an… read more | Article
2015. Ephemeral Grammar: At the far end of emergence. Temporality in Interaction, Deppermann, Arnulf and Susanne Günthner (eds.), pp. 95–120
Drawing on the theoretical and methodological approach of Conversation Analysis (CA) and aiming to contribute to research on Emergent Grammar (e.g., Hopper 1987, 2011; Bybee and Hopper 2001) and sequentially specific grammar (Schegloff 1996; Fox 1994; Thompson et al. to appear), this chapter takes… read more | Article
2013. Units and/or Action Trajectories? The language of grammatical categories and the language of social action. Units of Talk – Units of Action, Szczepek Reed, Beatrice and Geoffrey Raymond (eds.), pp. 13–56
Responding to Sacks et al.’s 1974 call for linguists to join in the study of resources for turn construction, the authors of this chapter long ago took on turn formulation as an issue which linguists must account for. In this chapter, we return to this aspect of CA’s charge to linguists, noting… read more | Article
2010. Multiple practices for constructing laughables. Prosody in Interaction, Barth-Weingarten, Dagmar, Elisabeth Reber and Margret Selting (eds.), pp. 339–368
This study explores a range of interrelated semiotic resources for constructing a “laughable,” which we define as one or more utterances proffered by a speaker and inviting recipient laughter or other laugh related displays. These semiotic resources, in and around the talk, include a range of… read more | Article

2007. Relative Clauses in English conversation: Relativizers, frequency, and the notion of construction. Studies in Language 31:2, pp. 293–326
This paper is a usage-based study of the grammar of that set of English Relative Clauses with which a relativizer has been described as optional. We argue that the regularities in the use of relativizers in English can be seen as systematically arising from pragmatic-prosodic factors, creating… read more | Article
