“…What is also clear is that the device use itself shapes the interactions that unfold. If mobile device use takes place with others who are co-present, device use is frequently brought into the interaction -what Mondada [23] characterised as 'convergent' interaction. In contrast we can identify 'divergent' interactions [23] where the use of the device is kept relatively separate from interactions with others.…”

“…Co-participants: "can mutually align [...] and display shared attention towards common objects; they can dis-align as well, in not attending to the other's talk." [23] As she explains, even in cases of 'divergent' attention, parties are still engaged with each other and can time utterances and actions with respect to each other. Figure 3 is one example of 'divergent' talk and device use, in that the participant keeps each involvement relatively separate.…”

Despite the widespread use of mobile devices, details of mobile technology use 'in the wild' have proven difficult to collect. This paper uses video data to gain new insight into the use of mobile computing devices. Our new method combines screen-capture of iPhone use with video recordings from wearable cameras. We use this data to analyse how mobile device use is threaded into other copresent activities, focusing on the use of maps and internet searches. Close analysis reveals novel aspects of gestures on touch screens, how they serve 'double duty" -both as interface gestures but as as resources for ongoing joint action. We go on to describe how users 'walk the blue dot' to orientate themselves, and how searches are occasioned by the local environment. In conclusion, we argue that mobile devices -rather than pushing us away from the world around us -are instead just another thread in the complex tapestry of everyday interaction.

“…At least three aspects are worth considering. First, INS inserts the navigational instruction in a minimally disruptive way (see Mondada, ): it is finely timed with respect to TDR's turn‐in‐progress (l. 06) and INS manages to latch the beginning of his turn (l. 07) to the end of TDR's previous turn‐constructional unit (TCU; Sacks et al, ). Second, TDR can be seen to acknowledge immediately the navigational instruction with a “sì”/ yes (l. 09).…”

This contribution focuses on navigational instructions occurring in driving lessons carried out in Italian. It proposes a situated analysis of navigational instructions in their spatio‐temporal and interactional environment with the methods developed in conversation analysis and multimodal interaction analysis. The analytic part of the article first examines the sequential placements of navigational instructions and then zooms in on their turn‐constructional features. The exploration of how interactants coordinate talk with gesture provides a further analytic layer. The article shows that differences in turn format and multimodal delivery of navigational instructions bear on the driving instructor's orientation towards the trainee driver's (putative, assigned) level of competence. Hence, this article contributes to a better understanding of how navigational instructions, as first actions, relate to the overall activity.

“…In her studies, the multimodal approach thus both reveals functions of conversational practice which had not been noticed before, and uncovers multimodal underpinnings on which talk-in-interaction rests. Her current research focuses on asynchronous temporalities of multiple modalities in coordinating multi-activities (Mondada, 2012). Mondada's research is distinctive by her skilled work with collections, applying this core methodology of CA to the study of the complexities of multimodal phenomena in sophisticated ways (Mondada, 2008(Mondada, , 2011.…”
