Primes¶
- Adjacency Pair
- Conversation analysis. Question/answer, greeting/greeting, offer/accept-or-decline, complaint/apology — the origin, where the preference asymmetry is documented empirically: accepts are short and immediate, declines delayed, hedged, and accounted for.
This sourceFoundational conversation-analysis treatment of adjacency pairs and conditional relevance — the noticeable absence of a second-pair-part; preference organization (accepts immediate, declines delayed/hedged/accounted) is documented in the CA tradition (see also Pomerantz 1984).

- Setup–Resolution Pair
- A setup–resolution pair is an ordered two-role relation in which an initiating element opens a demand of a specified type and a second, causally linked element discharges it, so that the two together — and neither alone — constitute one completed unit.
This sourceGives the classic formulation of the adjacency pair - two-utterance length, relative ordering of parts, and a first part whose pair type discriminates among admissible second parts - so that two elements form a unit only when the first types the second rather than merely preceding it.

Domain-specific¶
- Request-Response
- The structural shape — role asymmetry, causal pairing, a return path, one-shot scope — genuinely recurs across substrates: a legal motion answered by a ruling, a presenting complaint answered by an assessment-and-plan, a support ticket answered by a reply, a prayer or oracle consultation answered by a response, and the question-answer adjacency pairs of conversation analysis (Schegloff and Sacks).
This sourceThe conversation-analysis paper developing the adjacency pair - two utterances by different speakers, ordered so that a first pair part makes a particular type of second relevant - which is the last item in this list and the only one attributed here by name.
