Abstract
Avoidance is one of the oldest strategies identified in cognitive second language acquisition. Since participants are hiding that they are avoiding using a particular item of language, behavioral methodologies that normally do not use introspection might seem ill-equipped to identify dissimulation. However (based on Markee, 2011), I show here how avoidance can be respecified and productively re-analyzed by using a longitudinal CA methodology (see Markee, 2008) to trace how: (1) ethnographic data that are “talked into relevance” by participants can be used to demonstrate how avoidance is verbally achieved in real time over time; and (2) based on feedback from an anonymous reviewer, how CA methods can also identify how different participants can simultaneously pursue conflicting agendas.
