This article discusses ‘Notes on Language Games’, written by Harold Garfinkel in 1960 and never before published, one of three distinct versions of his famous ‘Trust’ argument, i.e., that constitutive criteria define shared events, objects, and meanings. The argument stands in contrast to an approach to cultural anthropology that was becoming popular in 1960 called ‘ethnoscience’. In this previously unknown manuscript, Garfinkel proposes that cultural events and language events are the same, in that both are created through constitutive commitments to interactional systems. The best-known version of the Trust argument (Garfinkel, 1963) emphasizes Schutz, while other versions build on Parsons (Garfinkel 2019). In this third version, the Trust conditions are elaborated in terms of Wittgenstein’s language games. Various strands of Garfinkel’s thinking about culture, language and interaction are interwoven. That Garfinkel was working with Parsons in 1960 to document a contractual basis for social events and their assembly practices in ‘systems of interaction’, a constitutive practice argument with roots in Durkheim’s work, is yet another strand. The article highlights how the Trust argument is the key to everything, not only ethnomethodology, but also Garfinkel’s attempt to develop a general sociology of culture, language and interaction.

加芬克尔“语言游戏笔记”简介：语言事件作为“互动系统”中的文化事件

本文讨论了Harold Garfinkel于1960年编写且从未出版的“关于语言游戏的笔记”，这是他著名的“信任”论点的三个不同版本之一，即构成标准定义了共享事件，对象和含义。该论点与文化人类学的方法形成鲜明对比，该方法在1960年变得流行，被称为“民族科学”。在这本以前未知的手稿中，加芬克尔（Garfinkel）提出文化事件和语言事件是相同的，因为两者都是通过对交互系统的构成性承诺创造的。Trust论点的最著名版本（Garfinkel，1963）强调了Schutz，而其他版本则基于Parsons（Garfinkel 2019）。在第三版中，以维特根斯坦的语言游戏来阐述信任的条件。Garfinkel关于文化，语言和互动的各种思想交织在一起。Garfinkel于1960年与Parsons合作，记录了社交活动及其在“互动系统”中的集会实践的契约基础，而互动系统是杜克海姆作品中根深蒂固的实践性论证，这又是另外一回事。本文强调了信任论点是一切事物的关键，不仅是民族方法论，而且是加芬克尔（Garfinkel）尝试发展文化，语言和互动的一般社会学的尝试。
