CMN 588: Analyzing Institutional Interaction Professor Pillet-Shore Unit 3 Study Guide Work to answer these questions as you do the readings for this unit, making sure to also refer to your class lecture notes. These are intended to help you prepare for quizzes/tests and also help you master key concepts for use in doing class assignments. 1. Jurors strive not only to reach a verdict, but also to establish the accountability of their conduct. What does this mean? How does this become manifest in jury deliberations? In the film ‘Inside the Jury Room’, what were some of the practices through which the jurors dealt with the accountability of their conduct? 2. Maynard and Manzo (‘On the sociology of justice’) approach the phenomenon of ‘justice’ very differently from the way it has been addressed by other social scientists. What is distinctive about the Maynard and Manzo approach, and what role does the phenomenon of talk at work play in their approach? 3. Describe the turn taking system for trial examinations, and explain how it affects the task of establishing guilt/innocence. 4. How do witnesses, under cross-examination, contest or dispute versions of events embedded in the attorney’s questions? What is the difference between explicit and implicit methods of contestation? 5. What is ‘the maximal property of descriptions,’ and what is its significance in crossexamination? 6. According to Drew (‘Contested evidence in cross-examination’), claiming ‘I don’t remember’ is a particularly effective way of resisting a line of questioning. What makes it so? 7. According to Drew, what is one strategy that cross-examining attorneys use to deal with uncooperative witnesses? 8. What were some of the techniques used by the defense in the Rodney King trial to counteract the evidence of the videotape? 9. Charles Goodwin (‘Professional vision’) argues against a purely psychological theory of vision. What alternative theory does he offer, and what evidence does he present to support it? How does the phenomenon of talk at work figure in Goodwin’s theory? 10. Compare and contrast Drew’s analysis of the rape trial with Goodwin’s analysis of the King trial, in terms of the practices of witnesses in trial examinations. 11. When citizen drivers are pulled over by police officers for a traffic stop, Kidwell (2018) shows that, within the first few moments of their interaction, the reason for the encounter/stop connects pre-beginning events to ratified interaction between officer and citizen. What is the ‘pre-beginning’ phase of the encounter in a traffic stop? What is ‘pretextual policing’? What does Kidwell mean by ‘alignment’ when she states that the reason for the traffic stop is an important site of alignment, as well as contestation, that can affect the course of the encounter in highly consequential ways? 12. According to Kidwell (2018), what is the overarching (or overall structural) organization (or recurrent shape) of a typical traffic stop in the United States? How is a traffic stop different from a service encounter?

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics
Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.
BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES
In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.
General Guidelines
- The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
- Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).
Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).
Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).
Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:
Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR
For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.
Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).
Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).
These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:
Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
