  • Summary

    Human interaction is organized in time, but that organization is neither automatic nor externally imposed. It is an effortful creation within everyday interaction as participants produce next utterances and place them adjacent to their own or other’s prior utterances. Participants produce utterances in sequence using their knowledge of the normative sequential organizations of a wide range of elements of interaction, key among those elements being turns, actions, and repair initiations. These sequential organizations are distinct, although inseparable from, the triadic temporal organization of adjacency, nextness, and progressivity of elements in sequence: an organization that has been widely acknowledged, but less closely examined than sequential organizations. Examining the temporal organization of interaction reveals the procedure by which participants assess the nextness of another participant’s next adjacent utterance as they interpret prior utterances, which has direct implications for understanding how participants ascribe actions to those prior utterances. The triadic temporal organization of everyday interacting points to third position utterances as essential for the recipient in ascribing action to any given first position utterance, and as a consequence, essential for the speaker and for the recipient in together establishing the state of the talk and conduct between them.

  • Summary

    This chapter proposes a new way to approach the ontogenesis of symbol formation: the analysis of movement and its relation to the development of action. First, it highlights some of the essential traits of movement, both during the early adult-child dyad as well as in temporal arts. The chapter discusses the capacity that movement has to express vital affections and modes of temporal organization of movements: alternation, synchrony, and the repetition-variation form. It then suggests that the variations in the quality of movement, the attunements, and the repetition-variation forms that constitute the social circular reactions are elaborations, in the Dissanayake sense, which have the virtue to drive an ongoing flow of the vitality affects. Finally, the chapter proposes that the elaborations that compose the social circular reactions undergo a gradual externalization process beyond the dyad.

  • Action in time: Ensuring timeliness for collaborative work in the airline cockpit

  • In the airline cockpit it is critical to say and do things at the appropriate time and in the appropriate order. When a pilot is responsible for initiating a next action but has not yet done so, the pilot not responsible can prompt or perform the action with talk that is prefaced with and. Rather than make conspicuous another's possible lapse, and-prefaced talk presents the not-yet-initiated action as timely and merely occurring routinely next in sequence. And occurs in talk for monitoring another's conduct and for maintaining accountability in the temporal organization of work by situating actions acceptably in time. This article points to the value of seeing grammatical forms as consequential for just how work gets done in particular settings, and especially for identifying local means of creating order for agenda-based activities. The article analyzes transcriptions of pilots interacting in the cockpit on actual scheduled passenger flights.
