thanks again!

organization of turn-taking for conversation" in Language 50 (1974),
pp.669-735. (Jacob Franco was kind enough to send me a PDF of this
paper...if anyone would like a copy.)

Dutch conversations", downloadable at

Song Phonology and Syntax?", Journal of Comparative Psychology (2010) 124,

An excellent summary of CA for a beginner is the Hutchby and Wooffitt book,
Conversation Analysis (not sure about the exact title), Polity Press (maybe
1998?).
