ABSTRACT This article examines the notion of interculturality in face-to-face, multilingual, ordinary interactions. The focus is on how participants perform constituent actions by reference to members’ normative expectations to a specific membership category. Employing ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, this article elucidates interculturality is an interactional achievement in interaction. More specifically, I describe interactional practices for doubting others’ nationality and accounting for doubts accomplished by particular interactional practices in a specific interactional position. Analyzing these interactional contingencies produced by participants demonstrates that members’ practices to make interculturality relevant in a temporal unfolding of the activity and shows how they reflexively use interculturality as a resource for constituent actions. This study contributes to the existing literature on the interactional construction of international and intercultural communication, and on the situated, sequential, and embodied organization of interculturality.

跨文化性是一种互动成就：怀疑他人的国籍并解决疑问

摘要本文探讨了面对面，多语言，普通互动中的跨文化概念。重点是参与者如何通过参考成员对特定成员类别的规范期望来执行组成行动。本文采用民族方法论和会话分析法，阐明了跨文化性是互动中的互动成果。更具体地说，我描述了用于怀疑他人国籍的交互实践，并解释了在特定交互位置由特定交互实践完成的疑问。分析参与者产生的这些互动偶然性，表明成员在活动的时间展开中使跨文化性相关的做法，并展示了他们如何反思性地将跨文化性用作构成行为的资源。这项研究为有关国际和跨文化交流的互动结构以及跨文化的位置，顺序和具体组织的现有文献做出了贡献。
