Summary/Abstract: In the article the author compares interactional conversation analysis and critical discourse analysis with regard to context selection for the interpretation of talk. Both approaches are considered appropriate for sociological type of discourse analysis, but they commonly appear as opposite options because of their backgrounds within different theoretical traditions and contradictory models of social life. Relying on theoretical considerations and empirical tests, the author offers the way for linking both approaches by means of the dynamic model of overlapping contexts.
