(1.0) Pt: Well I've had this: a-sore throat on'n off, for weeks no:w.= Dr: LMM: Rule 1-A LMM: Rule 1-B LMM: Rule 1-B Lapse: non-application of A-C/Dr does not select and does not expect H to self-select TP recognized at the end of the sentence where a vocative is used LMM: Rule 1-B =Oo dear.

Pt: En I've got a cough - it's- I've been you know choking -- you know'n I'm coughing- I'm getting no relief from coughing - it's just - choking that- back of my --- Dr: Do you bring any -- phlegm up when you -- cough.

On the basis of our CA we can make some interpretative conclusions • 2 violative interruptions; both by the doctor • 2 R1-A (selection of NS); both by doctor • 2 R1-B (self-selection) by the patient • 6 R1-B (self-selection) by the doctor • 2 gaps: delaying R1 (hesitation); both by patient. Facts
Research has indicated the predominance of doctor-initiated spoken exchanges in which doctors elicit and confirm information and give directives to patients, while the patients give information and attempt to respond appropriately to the doctors’ moves. This statement is consistent with the results of our analysis of the conversation where the doctor seems to enjoy an “authority” position.
