On the Interactional Unpackaging of a "Gloss."
Jefferson, Gail
Language in Society, v14 n4 p435-66 Dec 1985
Discusses glosses, that is, formulations which, on their occurrence, are adequate but which turn out to have been incomplete, ambiguous and perhaps misleading. Examines the ways in which a coparticipant's activities may result in a speaker either maintaining or revealing the gloss. (SED)
