During the mobilisation of examining selves, German sociabilists commonly
respond to a prior comment in a way that, in the first instance allows that
particular speaker to display that he / she has been listening quite intently to the
content of that prior claim. Not infrequently this is signalled conversationally by
the preface'Aber pass auf ['Hold on a minute']. Examining selves allows
participants to display that they have not only been listening, but gone on to
think clearly and precisely about the nature of the prior claim and subsequently
identify any problems or flaws therein. Once mobilised examining selves can
be rapidly aligned to a given recipient to give the talk an almost interrogatory
feel. An example of this can be seen in the following episode also drawn upon
in the previous chapter.
Excerpt 7.8'Fahren in England'
The immediately preceding discussion has been about driving in other cultures.
There has been some debate about how easy or difficult this is with varying
opinions being proffered. KH turns to EP (whom has been silent to tat point and
whom KH knows does have driving licence and lives in England).
