(p. 13, Garfinkel, H. (1991). Respecification: Evidence for locally
produced, naturally accountable phenomena of order, logic, reason, meaning,
method, etc. in and of the essential haecceity of immortal society (I)--an
announcement of studies. In G. Button (Ed.) _Ethnomethodology and the human
sciences_ (pp. 10-19). Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press.)
