“…CA researchers have commonly dealt with the phenomenon by focusing on various “social action formats” (Fox, 2007 )—that is, regularly patterned clusters of publicly observable resources that are deployed to convey specific actions, such as offers (e.g., Kärkkäinen and Keisanen, 2012 ), proposals (e.g., Stevanovic, 2013 ), and complaints (e.g., Ogden, 2010 ). Furthermore, the complex ways in which the verbal dimension of the participants' conduct is embedded in the material and embodied elements of the situated courses of action have been referred to as “multimodal gestalts” (Mondada, 2014 ), “social action formats” (Rauniomaa and Keisanen, 2012 ), or “multimodal action packages” (Lilja and Piirainen-Marsh, 2019 ; Stevanovic, 2021b ). Instead, less focus has been paid to the considerations of the broader structural features, such as power relations, that inform the design of and accountabilities associated with specific actions (Stevanovic and Peräkylä, 2014 ; on requests, however, see Antaki and Kent, 2012 ).…”
