Abstract | An interactional model of communication can be based on Erving Goffman's concept of the "interaction order" and the conversation analytic focus on meaning. Three sets of related ideas provide the intellectual foundations for this approach: actions are designed for recipients; talk is multi-functional; and self presentation is semiotic. These assumptions lead to a theoretical perspective in which it is understood that social actions are designed to make sense to those who participate in them. An example of discourse, called a perspective display sequence, consists of a query, the recipient's response, and the asker's subsequent report. From the early 1950s to the early 1980s, the work of Erving Goffman explicated that role of a third order in social life, neither institutional nor individual, which he named "the interaction order." Goffman sought to describe how the interactional demands of situations are the primary source of structure for the social self. For A. Rawls, self and meaning are the parallel accomplishments of the interaction order. Rawls' summary of a theory of the interaction order emphasizes self presentation, the constraints the order places on social structure, involvement obligations, and morality. Scholars can study meaning interaction by studying how second turns follow first turns, and third turns follow seconds. The meaning of a turn must be interpreted for the next turn to follow successfully. (Contains 4 notes and 36 references.) (RS) |
