| Summary: | This paper looks at some constitutive features of interviews and the presentation of
findings from interviews. A set of open-ended interviews was conducted after the
bombing of Manchester city-centre, with residents, people who worked in the city
centre, and members of the emergency services who had attended the scene. Regardless
of the substantive topic of inquiry, a naturalistic approach to the structures of talk within
these interviews makes available collaborative linguistic phenomena produced by
interviewer and interviewees. These routine practices included designing talk for a
specific interlocutor, the use of referents or indexical expressions, the deployment of
membership categories and the telling of stories. As a single case analysis, a sequence
of talk from one interview is used to highlight the specificity of these ordinary features. |
