a variety of topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture. The
papers primarily employ analysis of naturally occurring data drawing from
methodologies that include conversation analysis, discourse analysis,
ethnographic methods, ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, and
interactional sociolinguistics. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;
