“…Gender is clearly available and observable for analysis in those interactions where participants treat themselves or their co-participants in terms of those member's categories that include aspects of gender (Evaldsson, 2005;Ohara & Saft, 2003;Schegloff, 2007;Stokoe, 1998Stokoe, , 2006Stokoe & Smithson, 2002). Membership categories usually include aspects of, for example, age, ethnicity, profession, and gender.…”

“…This positioning enables the host to then interrogate, formulate, and assess callers' contributions. An example of this is seen in a recent study of a Japanese TV phone-in show (Ohara & Saft, 2003). In excerpt 3 a caller presents a problem in the first turn after an exchange of greetings (not shown in the excerpt), in the interaction slot within which the reason for the call is established.…”

“…In their analysis, Ohara and Saft (2003) draw on Sacks's (1992) notion of "membership categorization devices." 7 Membership category descriptions generate inferences about the reasonableness of a person's conduct in their roles and relationships; they are inference-rich.…”

Language and Social Interaction: Its Institutional Identity, Intellectual Landscape, and Discipline-Shifting Agenda

Language and Social Interaction (LSI) is the intellectual home for those convinced that the smallest of language, gesture, or vocal expressions affect meaning making and can shape socially consequential outcomes. It is the residence of preference for those who believe that studying interaction in its situated and messy particularity is the best way to understand communicative life. As a division in both ICA and NCA, it is a bit of an outlier, a group whose center is not the name of a particular context of communication. Cutting against the grain-resisting commonly held beliefs or usual practices in other intellectual communities-is part of what it means to do LSI scholarship, although the communities LSI scholars argue with are quite diverse. Almost always LSI scholars have a foot, albeit sometimes only a tentative one, in some other world besides the interdisciplinary one that comprises LSI research. For those with communication pedigrees, it is most likely to be interpersonal, intercultural, group, organizational, health, or political communication. As a good number of LSI scholars come from fields other than communication, the other worlds are most likely to be sociology, linguistics, psychology, or anthropology. For many of these scholars it is the mainstream of their discipline that is the chief target of their arguments. Some of these folk build permanent homes in communication departments and like their native-born colleagues begin to engage with neighboring areas of communication study. Others spend their day-to-day lives in these other disciplines, with their intellectual foci shaped by what is routinely contested and debated in their departmental residence.This review of language and social interaction is divided into four sections. In the first section, we provide a sense of LSI as an organizational unit, tracing its history in the main communication associations and making visible how its intellectual character has changed over time. Then, we describe the major research traditions that exist in LSI and the distinctive features of each of the traditions. Because the last 7-8 years has produced a large set of LSI-focused review essays and handbooks, the third section reviews the reviews, making apparent similarities and differences among different reviews' characterizations of language and

“…However, a new trend of utilizing CA (and MCA) for the study of ideological issues has started to appear, including "feminist CA" (Edley and Wetherell 1997;Kitzinger 2000;Ohara and Saft 2003), "motivated M/CA" (Talmy 2009), and "applied CA" (Kasper 2009). These scholars maintain that each approach offers an incomplete account (Edley and Wetherell 1999) of the phenomena at issue, hence arguments from a top-down approach should be substantiated by bottom-up analysis of actual interactions.…”

This study explores categorization processes of people (identities) and language (linguistic varieties) in interactions between L1 (first language) and L2 (second language) speakers of Japanese and the language ideologies behind them. Utilizing Conversation Analysis (CA) in combination with Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA), the present study focuses on how participants apply these categories to self and other where identities and language ideologies emerge in the sequences of ordinary conversations. The study also illuminates how the participants react to such ideologies, which is rarely documented in previous studies of L2 Japanese interactions. It is controversial to use CA and MCA as methodologies for inquiries into ideology due to different epistemological and theoretical frameworks. Yet, joining the emerging trend of CA studies that address ideological issues, this study will also demonstrate the compatibility between them. Methodological integration of CA and MCA has been proposed since the 1970s, but has started to be adopted only recently. Because few studies employ this combination in the area of language ideologies, it serves as a novel analytic tool in this body of research. Thus, this study makes a methodological contribution to the study of language ideologies, illustrating the production of language ideologies and reactions to it as participants’ accomplishments.
