Sequence organization in conversation focuses on how utterances are ordered in an orderly, coherent manner. The basic unit of sequence is the adjacency pair, which consists of a first pair part by one speaker requiring a second pair part in response. However, sequences can be expanded in complex ways. Expansions can occur before the first pair part (pre-expansion), between the first and second pair parts (insert expansion), or after the second pair part (post-expansion). Pre-expansions include actions like checking availability before inviting. Minimal post-expansions use responses like "oh" and "ok" to acknowledge information or actions, while non-minimal post-expansions provide more elaboration.

conversational implicature is a sort of inference that has been derived from speaker's said utterance, to say going deep to abstract what is meant by speaker rather what is being said.
it is like drawing inference with the help of non verbal cues, schemata of the situation as well.An utterance which conveys meaning beyond its proposition.what is said must be understood in terms of what philosophers define as meaning, that is, sense and reference, what is said is the result of a linguistic computation implying the description of a full proposition with a truth value.

3. What is meant by sequence
organization?
Ordered series of related events,
movements, or items that follow each other
in a particular order.
Relative positioning of utterances or actions
Sequence Organization 3
4. Sequence organization in conversation
Conversation is sequentially organized
Turns are connected with one another in
systematically organized patterns or
sequences
No haphazardness in conversation
Sequence Organization 4
5. Functions of sequence organization
Provides a coherent, orderly and
meaningful series of interrelated
communicative actions
Helps participants to accomplish and
coordinate an interactional activity
Sequence Organization 5
6. BASICS OF SEQUENCE ORGANIZATION
IN SOCIAL INTERACTION

b. Insert-expansion
c. Post-expansion
Sequence Organization 6
7. SOCIALACTION SEQUENCES
The social actions, we perform in social
interaction, occur sequentially one following
another
Instances of social action form adjacency pairs
Adjacency pairs are the fundamental units to
conversational organization
Sequence Organization 7
8. ADJACENCY PAIR
A sequence of two utterances
Adjacent
Produced by different speakers
Ordered as a first pair part (FPP) and a second
pair part (SPP)
A FPP requires a SPP
Pair type related such that particular FPPs are
paired with particular SPPs
Sequence Organization 8
9. Basic rules for the production of
adjacency pairs by Schegloff and
Sacks(1973)
Given the recognizable production of a first
pair part, at its possible completion its
speaker should stop, a next speaker should
start, and should produce a second pair part
of the same type.

Betty: Three uh clock.

Amy: Hello
Jean: Hi

13. Types of expansion
There are three types of expansion
1. Pre-expansion
2. Insert-expansion
3. Post-expansion
Pre-expansion
First pair part
Insert expansion
Second pair part
Post expansion
14. Pre-expansion
Involve an expansion of a sequence of a sequence
before the occurrence of a base first pair part.
Preparatory for projected work to be done in the
sequence.
’ Type-specific’
Project a specific base first pair part
Type-specific pre-expansions typically check on a
condition for the successful accomplishment of the
base first pair part.
15. Types of pre-expansion
Pre-invitations
E.g. Hey are you busy tonight?(Example P 96 frag 1)
Function
Checks on the availability of the intended invitee
Pre-requests(Example: P 96. frag 2, P 97.frag 3)
Function
It typically checks on the availability of the item to be
asked for.
16. Pre-announcement (Example P97 frag 4)
Recipient does not already know the thing to be told
or announced.
It can be misinterpret (Examples P 98 frag 7)
Story telling
Speaker often reaches to the completion of a turn unit
A story preface allows the recipient to see that points
of possible turn completion but does not constitute
opportunity for another speaker to take a turn.
17. Summon-answer sequence
Response can be a go ahead one
What?
Yes dear.
Can be deferring
“Wait a minute!”
Can be blocking
“I am not interested in what you want to say.”
20. It comes before SPP and before FPP.
On some occasions the two utterances of
adjacency pair are not adjacent.
This expansion occurs at post-first and pre-
second position.
The most common form of post first insert
expansion consists of a “next turn repair
initiator”(NTRI) (Ex.13, page 103)
21. Pre-second insert expansion is oriented not
to trouble with FPP but with an expected
SPP(Ex.15, Pg 104)
It can be more complicated case as in
example 16, Page 104.
22. Post expansion
As the word post implies that it
comes later in the sequence to
expand it to some length
24. Features of post expansion
Highly variable with respect to their
function
Complex as compared to other forms
25. Types of post expansion
Minimal post expansion
Non-minimal post expansion
26. Minimal Post expansion
Produced by the speaker of relevant
initiating action
Virtually convey that the response to the
action was adequate
Adequacy doesn’t mean a positive response
27. Response can be negative
Consists of one turn
Doesn’t itself initiate a new sequence
Response tokens include: Oh, Ok, Great
and variants of these(Ex.17,18.page
104,105)
Tokens also known as sequence closing
third as they occur at a 3rd position in a base
pair and propose to end the sequence, but
not always
28. Functions of different response
markers
Heritage(1984) described “oh” as a change
of state marker.
i.e, not knowing to knowing
Schegloff(2007) suggests that
“ a sequence closing third “oh” registers
information receipt
29. Schegloff suggests that “Ok” is oriented
more to the action being implemented in a
sequence than information being conveyed.
Response may be preferred or disprefered
(Ex.19, Page 105)
Exception with sequence closing third “Ok”
It may propose a closure but not
necessarily in all situations.(Ex.21, L.106)
If the outcome of an offer is in the form of
rejection, the recipient goes on some
lengths to give a rationale for this
30. Oh and ok in combined form
They retain their identity and perform their
distinct functions
(Ex.22, Page 106)
Also involves some puzzling cases, where
it appears in rather strange way.
(Ex.23, Page 107)
31. Non-minimal Post Expansion
Composed of more than a single word
Treats a sequence as not adequate for sequence
closure, thus followed by a second pair part
Occurs in a variety of forms
Commentary upon the prior sequence and
thereby expands it (Ex.24, Page 107)
32. Schegloff notes that post-expansions include
cases in which
A recipient initiates repair of the base second
pair part(BSPP)
(Ex.25, Page 107)
There can be several or series of expansions in
a conversation
Can be in the form of question
Comes in a sequence in a variety of ways to
perform certain functions
33. Summary
Sequence organization focuses on how
actions are ordered in conversation
Adjacency pairs are basic unit of
sequence construction
Sequence is composed of two turns FPP
and SPP
FPP provokes a responding utterance
SPP
34. Sequence can be much more complex then
only adjacency pairs
Many sequences involve expansions of
adjacency pairs
Such expansions involve additional
participation through additional turns
Expansions occur in three possible places
35. Before FPP (pre-expansion)
Between FPP and SPP (insert expansion)
After SPP (post expansion)
Pre expansions can be :
“Pre invitations” e.g. “Hey are you busy tonight?”
“Preannouncement” e.g. “Guess what happened to me”
36. Pre requests check the availability of item to
be asked for.
Insert expansions come at post first and pre
second position
Post expansions come after SPP
They can be of “minimal” and “non-
minimal” types
37. Oh ,ok are example of minimal type
Oh is used for receipt
Ok is more concerned with registering and
acknowledging
Non-minimal come in a variety of forms e.g.
commentary on just prior , repair of the SPP
etc.
38. Conclusion
Sequences are expanded beyond
adjacency pairs
Possibility of one sequence occurring
before, within and after another results in
vast variety of actual sequences
The possibilities are infinite.
