“The visual aspect of the interaction is often not targeted in a systemic way. This is not just accidental neglect, I think, but a reflection of the inherent difficulty of a visually oriented interaction analysis. […] We have the ability to parse talk into separate units which we call words, sentences, and larger discursive units, such as “a story”. But there do not seem to be equivalent “units” in facial expressions, gazing, or even gesturing.” (p. 165-168)
