Explanation
Empirical investigation of the sequential organization of natural interaction. In the atlas, conversation analysis is explored as a relationship between form, expectation, and effect. It interprets conversation as a jointly produced temporal order.
Example
A response is analyzed in relation to the preceding question.
Counterexample
An isolated sentence analysis without the flow of conversation is not conversation analysis.
Distinction
An isolated sentence analysis without the flow of conversation is not conversation analysis.
Effect on thought and perception
The concept interprets conversation as a jointly produced temporal order. As a result, a linguistic order that was previously taken for granted becomes perceptible as an active thought process.
Resonance
Resonance arises when conversation analysis is not only recognized but also experienced in its directional effect between expression, body, context, and interpretation.
