Parts of the work presented here were developed in course lectures at Columbia University in the late 1960s and through 1972, at the Linguistic Institute, University of Michigan, Summer 1973, and at UCLA, 1972–1975. A more formal presentation of an earlier version was made at a pre-session of the World Congress of Anthropology, Chicago, 1973. The material was organized with the present theme for presentation to a Conference on Improvisation, organized by the Center for Music Experimentation, University of California, San Diego, in May 1983. Especially during the earlier period of work on these materials (1966–1973) I had many exchanges about them and about the issues they involved with Harvey Sacks, the product of which will be clearly discernable to those who are familiar with Sacks' lectures, especially those for Winter 1970.
My thanks to Jennifer Mandelbaum for helping to clarify obscurities in the text, and to Elinor Ochs for a sympathetic reading and suggestions.
