The data is from a two-day video-recorded conference where conversation analysts present findings on doctor-patient interaction to an audience of medical educators. I'd like to look at a couple of displays of “dual intellectual allegiance” among medical educators who were also trained in conversation analysis. (That is, where someone speaks from both a clinical perspective and from the perspective of CA.) I'm interested in their displays of greater intrapersonal trouble through hesitation and self repair.

“Collective Persuasions: Tropes, Schemes, and Ideographs”
Participants in this Data session are three white female college students and their mothers. The group is discussing the young women's experiences transitioning into the University. Here the six have moved into a conversation about "being gay." Specifically, I'm looking at how tropes, schemes, and ideographs are functioning to mediate sociocultural shifts within this social network.
