Abstract

An introduction to the way in which people arrange themselves spatially in various kinds of focused interaction, especially conversation. It is shown how participants may jointly establish and maintain a spatial-orientational system, referred to as an F-formation, which functions as part of the way in which participants in conversation preserve the integrity of their occasion of interaction and jointly manage their attention.
