    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This paper discusses a lecture by Harvey Sacks on &amp;lsquo;The Inference-Making Machine&amp;rsquo;, originally delivered in 1964 and included in the posthumously published collection of his transcribed lectures, and then critically juxtaposes Sacks&amp;#39; analysis with recent work in sociology and linguistics on the topic of &amp;lsquo;epistemics&amp;rsquo; in conversation. Sacks&amp;#39; lecture discusses an extract from a phone call in which the caller relates a story about a domestic difficulty, and the recipient (an employee of a suicide prevention center, who was unacquainted with the caller) admonishes the caller for not telling the whole story and formulates the missing detail. Sacks makes a series of observations about the practical reasoning the social service agent uses to infer the missing detail. His analysis contrasts with that of some recent studies that assign higher &amp;lsquo;epistemic status&amp;rsquo; to speakers who present first-hand as opposed to second-hand accounts of the events in assertions, assessments and stories. The present paper uses the comparison with Sacks&amp;#39; analysis to extend a recent dispute about &amp;lsquo;epistemic&amp;rsquo; analyses of conversation, and also examines an instance from a recent publication on police interrogations of suspects also to question the way professional sociolinguistic analysts attribute &amp;lsquo;epistemic status&amp;rsquo; to participants in conversational exchanges.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
