Multimodal resources for turn-taking (2007, methodology): “More recently, multimodal resources have been strongly taken into account, including gestures (Schegloff, 1984, Streeck and Hartge, 1992; Ford et al., 1996; Hayashi et al., 2002), gazes (Goodwin, 1981; Lerner, 2003; Rossano, 2005) and more generally the entire body (Goodwin, 2000).”
Establishing Recipiency in Pre-Beginning Position in the Second Language Classroom (2009, background): “This involves the speaker addressing the talk to his or her co-participants (e.g., talking loud enough for the co-participant to register the talk, looking at the [intended] recipients; see C. Goodwin, 1981) and possibly allocating a next turn to a co-participant (Lerner, 2003; Sacks et al., 1974).”
Some Other “Uh(m)”s (2010, background): “Speakers construct the talk via the generic organizations of practice as embodied in that moment's detail, recipients analyze the talk via the generic organizations of practice as embodied in that moment's detail, speakers orient to the recipients doing so, and recipients orient to the speake”
A preference for progressivity in interaction (2006, methodology): “Although not all questions select a next speaker in multi-party conversation, most of the time they do appear to, whether explicitly by gaze or by an address term (Sacks et al. 1974), or tacitly by context-sensitive means (Lerner 2003).”
Beginning to Respond: Well-Prefaced Responses to Wh-Questions (2009, background): “and Lerner, Gene H.(2009)'Beginning to Respond: Well-Prefaced Responses to WhQuestions',Research on Language & Social Interaction,42:2,91 — 115”
The methodical organization of talking and eating: Assessments in dinner conversations (2009, background): “More particularly, the dynamic organization of talk among co-participants, and the distribution of turn at talk in multi-party conversations have been specifically explored on these data, revealing that participants normatively orient to the principle of ‘one speaker at a time’ (Sacks, Schegloff, & ”
Gaze Direction Signals Response Preference in Conversation (2017, methodology): “Kendon’s observations had little impact on the development of the CA model of turn taking by Sacks, Schegloff, and Jefferson (1974), in which gaze direction serves as resource for next speaker selection (Lerner, 2003) but does not otherwise organize transitions between speakers.”
“Categorizing the Categorizer”: The Management of Racial Common Sense in Interaction (2009, background): “…can refer explicitly to racial categories while managing the normative accountability of doing so I now turn to an explication of the use of tacit racial formulations, in the form of allusions to race, in order to manage this accountability (cf. Lerner 2003 on “explicit” versus “tacit” practices).”
On the Place of Linguistic Resources in the Organization of Talk-in-Interaction: Grammar as Action in Prompting a Speaker to Elaborate (2004, background): “Sequence-initiating actions and the sequences they initiate represent a central resource for selecting a next speaker (Lerner, 2003; Sacks, Schegloff, & Jefferson, 1974).”
Gaze as Social Control: How Very Young Children Differentiate "The Look" From a "Mere Look" by Their Adult Caregivers (2005, background): “These studies (and others; see, e.g., Egbert, 1996; Kidwell, 1997; Lerner, 2003; Rutter, 1984 ) have demonstrated a variety of ways in which gaze is both integral to the initiation of face-to-face interaction and at systematic points in an interaction, that it is an essential part of the…”
Practices in Other-Initiated Repair Resolution: The Phonetic Differentiation of 'Repetitions' (2005, background): “That is, turns produced with interjacent onsets are not necessarily disjunct or “illegal” from a turn-taking standpoint (Jefferson, 1983, 1986; Lerner, 1991, 1996, 2002; Schegloff, 2001).”
