The Embodied Turn in Research on Language and Social Interaction (2015, background): “…Schegloff (1992) explains Sacks’ original motivating interest in conversational data as a concern for action/activity, “how ordinary activities get done” (p. xvii), to give “methodical accounts of action” (xviii) (compare to Garfinkel & Sacks, 1986/1969; and Garfinkel, 1967, 1972, 1991, 2002).”
Everyday Cognition and Situated Learning: Philip H. Henning (2013, neutral): “In a review of literature on conversation analysis, Goodwin and Heritage (1990) suggest that there is a recognition that faceto-face interaction is a strategic area for understanding human action for researchers in psychological anthropology and learning theory.”

Tough love: Nurturing and coercing responsibility and recovery in California drug courts (2003, background): “Instead, the judge deals with the defendant’s emotionladen excuse by formulating it as a strategic move designed to evoke sympathy and relieve her of responsibility, rather than a genuine expression of emotion (see Gar nkel and Sacks 1970 on “formulations” and Goffman 1959).”
