The focus of Conversation Analysis (CA) is on analyzing the talk in-interactions that naturally occur, in order to understand how coconversationalists are able to take turns at talk, organize their conversational actions, or handle difficulties, such as speaking, hearing, or understanding the co-interactants' utterances (Wilkinson, & Kitzinger, 2011).

According to Preston, perceptual dialectolo-gy is a sub-category of folk linguistics, which itself belongs to sociolinguistics. He in-cludes the study of both, conscious and subconscious responses to language variation in the term (Preston 2011: 15), and emphasizes the importance
