英语中的通用语互动（专门涉及非母语人士）在世界范围内很常见，每天都会发生，但尚未经过对话分析师的研究。通过研究管理人员使用“通用语”英语进行交流时自然发生的、与工作相关的谈话，本文探讨了围绕对话分析方法对通用语谈话数据的适用性的一系列问题。虽然对话分析 (CA) 确实提供了一种基本方法，通过它我们能够详细地描述此类交互如何按顺序进行，从而以社会方式构建，但对数据类型本身的考虑使我们能够对 CA 的一些方法和工作假设产生新的认识。同时，本文还记录了参与者进行互动和话语工作的一些不同方法，以在面对异常、异常、有时甚至是“异常”的语言行为时使谈话具有有序和“正常”的外观。
Lingua franca interactions in English-those exclusively involving nonnative speakers-are common, everyday occurrences worldwide, yet have not been studied by conversation analysts. By examining the naturally-occurring, work-related talk of management personnel communicating in 'lingua franca' English, this paper explores a range of issues surrounding the applicability of conversation analytic methodology to lingua franca talk-data. While conversation analysis (CA) does provide a basic methodology through which we are able to describe in detailed ways how such interactions are sequentially and thus socially constructed, consideration of the data type itself allows us to cast new light on some of CA's methods and working assumptions. At the same time, the paper documents some of the various methods through which participants do interactional and discursive work to imbue talk with an orderly and 'normal' appearance, in the face of extraordinary, deviant, and sometimes 'abnormal' linguistic behaviour.
