Ethnomethodology is a kind of understanding sociology that has focused not on the philosophical issues of being and cognition, as did phenomenological sociology, but on quite specific data of ethnography and social anthropology, but also prepared under a peculiar philosophical foreshortening. Ethnomethodology is both a theory and a practical study of the procedures of ordinary people's actions. It sets the task not only to isolate the concepts used in speech, but also to reveal interpretative procedures, as a result of which we understand who the speaker is, what the situation is, what the state of affairs is, what our intentions and intentions of our interlocutors are. Ethnomethodological research is the elucidation of how the interlocutors build meaning through joint efforts: how they interact and how the recipient reconstructs the meaning that the author of the speech sought to convey.
Harold Garfinkel's book Studies in Ethnomethodology inspired a number of important theoretical and empirical studies in the social sciences and linguistics. This is one of the most original and controversial works in modern social science, which is still at the center of the debate about the current trends and challenges of sociology and social theory.
