This study explores how in ordinary conversation, interlocutors settle speakership and sequentiality matters in lapse environments. It especially investigates one recurrent phenomenon—sequence recompletion—whereby participants bring to completion a sequence of talk already handled as complete. Employing conversation analysis, it reports four sequence recompletion methods: action redoings, turn-exiting, post-sequence transitions and delayed replies. With this practice, interlocutors employ verbal and vocal resources to locally control their participation framework when finishing one course of action and potentially booting up a new one.
