Longitudinal Conversation Analysis: Empirical insights and methodological challenges.

We humans are fundamentally social beings: We rely on mutually understandable ways of interacting with each other to establish intercomprehension and to coordinate our respective actions in diverse social settings, ranging from dinner-table conversations to workplace interactions. We do so based on socio-culturally elaborated and shared ‘methods’ (Garfinkel 1964) – that is: systematic procedures for accomplishing social actions and coordinating these with others: methods for opening or closing conversations, for taking turns-at-talk, for displaying disagreement, etc. The sharedness of such methods among members of a given community is axiological to the building of mutual understanding and, ultimately, of social order. But how do members develop such methods and related resources and practices? How do they adapt them over time, over repeated social encounters and interactional experiences, or as part of socio-cultural change?
