4.1 Principles of CA CA pays unique attention to human actions accomplished via talk. CA analysts attempt to determine how participants analyze and interpret one another’s talk in interaction and generate a shared understanding of the interaction (Seedhouse, 2004). They try to step inside the shoes of interactants to make sense of their talk and actions (Wong & Waring, 2010). The aim is to “discover how participants understand and respond to one another in their turns at talk, with a central focus being on how sequences of actions are generated” (Hutchby & Wooffitt, 1998, p. 14). CA thus focuses on three major types of data: 1) naturally occurring data taken from the actual occurrences of talk not from manipulation, 2) transcribed data using a fine-grained transcription system and 3) analyzed data from an emic perspective which accounts for interlocutors’ language in social interaction (Wong & Waring, 2010).
