This study supports an approach to CA research on talk and body movements that underlines the use of several resources perceivable as methods for interaction that are sequentially consequential. It sets out to show such an approach by exploring the merging of talk and the bodily movement of ‘leaning forward’ in particular interactional settings, marked by expanded repair sequences, i.e. by problems in grasping an action and by problems in reaching a common comprehension via repair. It is shown how a mix of talk and ‘leaning forward’ is employed as a way to construct a repair in this local context. The elements' use and ordering are sequentially consequential and oriented to by the co-participant. It is also debated if and how a CA analysis can determine that a speaker is say depending upon both body movement and talk in a previous turn and not merely upon the talk in it if he confines himself to utilizing the component talk in his ensuing turn construction.
