Title: Chapter 22 - Question 13
13) Which of the following are the basic assumptions of conversation analysis, as outlined by Heritage (1984, 1987)? Please select all that apply.
- Talk is structured. Talk comprises invariant patterns— that is, it is structured. Participants are implicitly aware of the rules that underpin these patterns. As a result, conversation analysts eschew attempts to infer the motivations of speakers from what they say or to ascribe their talk to personal characteristics. Such information is unnecessary, since the conversation analyst is orientated to the underlying structures of action, as revealed in talk.
- Talk is forged contextually. Action is revealed in talk, and as such talk must be analysed in terms of its con- text. This means that we must seek to understand what someone says in terms of the talk that has preceded it and that therefore talk is viewed as exhibiting patterned sequences.
- Analysis is grounded in data. Conversation analysts shun prior theoretical schemes and instead argue that characteristics of talk and of the constitutive nature of social order in each empirical instance must be induced out of data. Heritage (1987: 258) has written: ‘It is assumed that social actions work in detail and hence that the specific details of interaction cannot simply be ignored as insignificant without damaging the prospects for coherent and effective analyses.’ This assumption represents a manifesto for the emphasis on fine-grained details (including length of pauses, prolongation of sounds, and so on) that is the hallmark of CA.
a. Talk is structured
b. Talk is unbounded
c. Talk is forged contextually
d. Talk is grounded in data
Type: true-false
Title: Chapter 22 - Question 14
14) One of the most basic ideas in conversation analysis is the notion that one of the ways in which order is achieved in everyday conversation is through turn-taking.

b. False
Type: true-false
Title: Chapter 22 - Question 15
15) Conversation analysis is only concerned with the analysis of face-to-face talk rather than mass media discourse.
a. True
b. False
