Above the level of exchange, Sinclair and Coulthard observed that exchanges were organised into transactions. Transactions describe a group of exchanges that fall within one broader unit of interaction, which in the case of the interview would be constituted by a sub-topic in ideational terms and include the interviewer’s question and the interviewee’s answer as well as follow-ups and clarifications. In the case of a narrative response, the transaction would embrace the entire narrative, even where it was told through an interaction marked by several turns involving interactions and clarifications. In the Sinclair Coulthard model, the transaction was structured as consisting of preliminary, medial, and terminal exchanges corresponding with beginning, middle and end. One might describe narrative structure as composed of a beginning middle and end but Labov and Waletzky’s model provides an alternative account of the textual organization of narrative structure.
