Formulating Times and Places in Interaction: Action, Sequence, and Turn Design Submission Deadline (Abstracts): 31 October 2026 Theme Since Sacks’s lectures and Schegloff’s subsequent publications on the subject, references to persons, times and places have become a topic of abiding interest in conversation analysis (Sacks 1992; Sacks & Schegloff 1979; Schegloff 1972, 1996).
