[Abstract]The analysis of verbal behaviour in terms of Skinner's (1969)  concept of the three‑term contingency can be made at two different  levels (a) at the semantic level at which the content of an utterance  is analysed in terms of the contingency or contingencies it  "specifies" or "depicts" and (b) at the pragmatic level at which the  utterance is viewed as behaviour in relation to a preceding utterance  by another speaker as antecedent and to a subsequent utterance or  other behaviour emitted by the listener as consequence. A technique is proposed for generating a pragmatic analysis of  naturally occurring verbal interactions based partly on an  interpretation of Harlow's (1959) distinction between "win‑stay/fail‑ shift" and "win‑shift/fail‑stay" contingencies in terms of Michael's  (1982) concept of an "establishing condition" and its reversal, and  partly on a behaviour analytic interpretation of the concepts of  "turn", "sequence", "continuer", "adjacency pair" and "preference  organisation" derived from the vocabulary of conversation analysis  (Heritage 1985).
