Zusammenfassung
There are two possible reactions to the finding that the turn-taking system as proposed by Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson (1974) has been revealed not to be universal in all its specifics. One reaction to this finding would be the “bongo-bongoist” stance that Douglas (1996: xxxv) has once called “the trap of all anthropological discussion”: “Hitherto when a generalization is tentatively advanced, it is rejected out of court by any fieldworkers who can say: ‘This is all very well, but it doesn’t apply to the Bongo-Bongo’.”
