From “Queue Rules” to “Sociology of Turn-Organized Activity”: Theoretical Foundations for the Study of Methods for the Distribution of Turns Beyond Speech

2025, vol. 24, No. 2, pp. 58–72 [issue contents]
This article addresses the problem of studying the rules, in adherence with which members of queues conduct their behavior. The article shows that the existing body of research concerning queue rules does not pay sufficient attention to the turn-taking organization of the studied instances of the queue. Drawing on a relatively small corpus of conversation analysis-inspired inquiries into non-vocal turn-organized activities (such as pool-skating, couples’ dancing jams, pétanque, hopscotch, and board games), the article suggests a re-specification of the problem of studying the rules of the queue. This re-specification involves the shift of the focus of inquiry from the queue to various kinds of turn-organized activity, with queueing as one of the possible methods of turn pre-allocation being available to the participants of said activity. The article formulates a theoretical frame of reference which can be used in empirical research of turn-organized activities as a minimal conceptual vocabulary, allowing the researcher to describe the methods for turn distribution used by the participants of such activities. The concluding section formulates several suggestions which can facilitate the description of the observed methods for turn distribution. Such a description is viewed as a possible method of studying the architecture of intersubjectivity in interaction.
