Organizing Participation in Interaction: Doing Participation Framework
http://mathforum.org/wiki/VMT?Session010906
The theory of participation framework comes from Goffman?

Goodwin, C. Notes on the Organization of Engagement http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/clic/cgoodwin/publish.htm Notice how he defines participation (and the role of "social positions")
Participation
I investigate Participation as a temporally unfolding process through which separate parties demonstrate to each other
their ongoing understanding of the events they are engaged in by building actions that contribute to the further progression
of these very same events. Thus a hearer is not just a structural category, an addressee, but someone who displays detailed
analysis of, and stance toward, the unfolding structure of the talk in progress through visible embodied displays.
Speakers take such displays into account as they organize their own actions. Moreover, parties in interaction build action
from the social positions they occupy. This approach to participation, with its focus on analysis displayed through temporally
unfolding action, differs from approaches that proceed by constructing typologies of different kinds of participants.
