This paper is a much-extended corollary to one I wrote as a tribute to the founder of ‘ethnomethodology’ (EM) after his death. My initial paper (Watson 2011) was essentially written and designed for sociologists who were not practitioners of EM and for non-sociologists. The present article focuses on the implications of Garfinkel’s work for pragmatics. It is far from the ‘last word’ on the issue, if there ever were such a thing, and it is intended to be an early move in what I hope will be an ongoing discussion.
