This article uses conversation analysis to examine constructions like who the fuck is that - sequence‐initiating actions into which an expletive like the fuck has been inserted. We describe how this turn‐constructional practice fits into and constitutes a recurrent sequence of escalating actions. In this sequence, it is used to pursue an adequate response after an inadequate one was given, and sanction the recipient for that inadequate response. Our analysis contributes to sociolinguistic studies of swearing by offering an account of swearing as a resource for social action.

在互动中使用咒骂插入追求和制裁

本文使用对话分析来检查诸如谁他妈的这样的结构 - 序列启动动作，其中插入了像他妈的这样的咒骂。我们描述了这种回合制实践如何适应并构成不断升级的行动序列。在这个序列中，它用于在给出不适当的回应后寻求适当的回应，并因回应不充分而惩罚接受者。我们的分析通过提供脏话作为社会行动资源的说明，为脏话的社会语言学研究做出了贡献。
