Document Summary
Assume nothing about the mind, we only study the things we can see. Idea that how people make sense of things take place in conversational interaction via dialogue. When breached people will try to normalize it via jokes, silence and moving on quickly. The order of everyday life can be invisible until breached. Breaches happen in everyday life all the time, someone asks something followed by an awkward silence. Father of conversation analysis thought that we didn"t have to do the breaching because this occurs all the time, thus can be studied this way. Simple things: how do you mind someone"s name. We usually get things right, but when it is wrong it is often quickly xed. Once you start listening to people you realize how little you listen to people. Writing is very di erent from the actual conversation as its already been mediated by a person.
