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 to the University. Here, the six have moved into a conversation about "being gay." Specifically, I'm looking at how tropes, schemes, and ideographs (even more specifically devices such as reclassification, negation, and repair) are functioning to mediate sociocultural shifts within this social network. I'm not a linguist, so I could really use the perspectives of others.
