<A> Introduction My goal in this paper is, first, to collect together a number of themes and observations that have usually been kept apart, locked up in their respective disciplines. When these are brought together, some general and far reaching implications become really rather clear. In particular, I want to make a case for the implicit coherence of these themes in the idea that the ‘roots of human sociality’ lie in a special capacity for social interaction, which itself holds the key to human evolution, the evolution of language, the nature of much of our daily concerns, the building blocks of social systems, and much else besides.

- Speaking in turns and sequences: Interactional competence as a target construct in testing speaking (2018, background): “Empirical evidence for the primacy of interaction over language is discussed by Levinson (2006) and Schegloff (2006).”
- Conversation Analysis and Psychotherapy: Identifying Transformative Sequences (2019, background): “Understanding what actions and turns are doing involves understanding experience: the intention, cognitive state, and emotional stance that are part of the action and inmany ways constitute it (see Enfield & Levinson, 2006; Levinson, 2006).”
