detrimental effects foreigners are having on Germany's crime rates, this excerpt evidences a moments of heightened solidarity between participants - as if all were speaking as one. In terms of the topic chosen for this period of positive alignment, again, the theme of some real external threat to the sociable collective and what they posit themselves as representing (in this case law abiding German citizens) is a salient one drawn upon in German agonistic discussion. By its very nature then, it seems to allow for the joint proffering of positive conversational claims and subsequent positive alignment. Both these instances of positive alignment generally reflect then the prevailing styles of sociable conversation in each milieu. In the former, participants re-invoke some past event, one located in a collective past, for the basis of solidarity. Claims made about this particular topic similarly define and evaluate the occasion. In the latter, participants also discuss some topic of central concern to all. Again, definitional and evaluative claims are made which attest similarly to the central topic. What both the excerpts commonly illustrate is moments in the course of ongoing episodes of sociable conversation where solidarity is being claimed, ratified, and supported over a series of conversational claims. In both sociable milieus, similar orientations are being made, as participants signal and ratify their commonality and solidarity in and through their sociable alignments to the topic itself and one another. 6.3.2 Negative Claims and their Ratification and Support As with positive claims, negative claims - that is, claims were participants express some aspect of individuation - equally require ratification and support from fellow participants as part and parcel of sociable conversation. Indeed, due to the salience of negative claims as essentially individuated phenomena - that is, based around the person or, as in the case of married couples what might be called the 'intimate team' - there may be even greater demands on the other participants to support negative claims more markedly, so that they 'stand out' more. In the English data, there are several ways in which participants collectively proffer, ratify, and support negative claims. Unsurprisingly, often 1 r, -A
