Since Interactional Linguistics (IL)
is still a relatively recent approach to the study of language in
talk-in-interaction, this introduction will first briefly outline how

about, what its current state is, and what it is characterized by. Then we
will go into more detail on the new research perspectives that are
highlighted by the contributions to this collection.
