Much of the research on affiliation to date has focused on how people do (dis)affiliation. This paper explores the remedial work that follows instances of disaffiliation between interactants who are getting acquainted. Building on an interactional pragmatics analytical approach informed by methods and research in conversation analysis, findings indicate that extended remedial accounts recurrently follow moments of disaffiliation in initial interactions. These remedial accounts enable participants to reposition a prior disaffiliative stance as (ostensibly) affiliative. It appears in initial interactions, then, that remedial accounts play an important role in modulating troubles in affiliating. We propose that the considerable interactional work undertaken by these participants to modulate such troubles reflects a general preference for agreeability in initial interactions, at least amongst (Australian and British) speakers of English.

调整与初始互动有关的麻烦

迄今为止，有关隶属关系的许多研究都集中在人们如何做（非隶属关系）上。本文探讨了在相识的互动者之间出现隶属关系后的补救工作。研究结果建立在一种互动式语用分析方法的基础上，该方法以对话分析中的方法和研究为基础，发现表明，扩大的补习账户会经常跟随初始互动中出现脱离联系的时刻。这些补救措施使参与者能够将先前的贬低立场重新定位为（表面上）贬低态度。看来，在最初的互动中，补救帐户在调节会员关系中的麻烦方面起着重要作用。
