Editing Conversation analysis (section)

==== Preference organization ====
CA may reveal structural (i.e. practice-underwritten) preferences in conversation for some types of actions (within sequences of action) over others, as responses in certain sequential environments.<ref name=Pomerantz1978>{{cite book |last=Pomerantz |first=Anita|editor1-last=Schenkein|editor1-first=Jim|chapter=Compliment Responses: Notes on the co-operation of multiple constraints|title=Studies in the Organization of Conversational Interaction |date=1978 |pages=79–112 |doi=10.1016/B978-0-12-623550-0.50010-0 |isbn=9780126235500 |s2cid=146783679 |chapter-url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780126235500500100}}</ref> For example, responsive actions which agree with, or accept, positions taken by a first action tend to be performed more straightforwardly and faster than actions that disagree with, or decline, those positions.<ref name="Pomerantz1984">{{cite book |last=Pomerantz |first=Anita|editor1-last=Atkinson |editor1-first=J.

The latter is termed a dispreferred turn shape, which describes a turn with opposite characteristics. One consequence of this is that agreement and acceptance are promoted over their alternatives, and are more likely to be the outcome of the sequence. Pre-sequences are also a component of preference organization and contribute to this outcome.<ref name="Schegloff2007" />
