In examining the organization of so

In examining the organization of social interaction, in monolingual as well as in bilingual conversation, CA adopts an emic perspective, which in turn is possible only through sequential analysis.
An emic perspective on bilingual conversation assumes the view that language choice, like any other aspect of talk organization, is a resource that participants can draw on and do so because of the normative nature of conversational resources.
The second aim of this chapter has been to illustrate the findings of research that has been conducted under the CA model of CS. Two main lines of research were identified, namely research that focuses on refining the definition of CS from a CA perspective and research that investigates the role of CS vis-à-vis specific conversational structures.
