Managing the moral implications of advice in informal interaction
journal contribution
posted on 2014-08-08, 15:39 authored by Chloe Shaw, Alexa HepburnWhat does advice-giving look like among family members? Most conversation analytic
research on advice has been in institutional settings, which constrain what speakers can do.
Here we analyse advice in the apparently freer environment of telephone calls between
mothers and their young adult daughters. We concentrate on how the advice is received. Our
analysis shows that the position of ‘advice recipient’ is a potentially unwelcome identity to
occupy, because it implies one knows less than the advice giver, and indeed that one may be
somehow at fault. Advice can be resisted, but choosing to do so seems to depend on what the
interactional costs would be. We discuss the implications for studying advice and promoting
advice acceptance, as well as the way relationality more generally can be constituted in talk.
