Session details:
The data come from a collection of interactions related to mental health in various settings. This example is an old-school audio-only ordinary conversation between a granddaughter and grandmother approximately one month after the grandfather’s unexpected death. The basis of the conversation is the use of mental-health related vocbulary, in this case, the word “depressed.” All analytic comments about any interactional feature or practice are welcome.
