Ethnomethodology has been influential in many social science fields, including and especially applied linguistics, where conversation analysis is a major subfield for analyzing oral data. Nevertheless, ethnomethodology can also be—and has been—fruitfully applied to written discursive data, using its tools and methods to describe in detail how written texts are assembled and reflexively used, as members’ methods, for doing and displaying social actions. This paper proposes an open analytical model to capture existing ethnomethodological analyses of written discourse and create a more transparent and replicable protocol for new analyses. I reconstruct ethnomethodology as set of assumptions and principles, review seminal research that used these principles to analyze written discourse, and present the master concept of “active text” that encapsulates them. I then construct a hierarchical prospective-retrospective model to formalize the methods used in ethnomethodology of written discourse. I use the model to reconstruct the analytical methods of two papers to show how it can be used for transparency and replication. The discussion section covers modelling in qualitative applied linguistics and ethnomethodology, and ends with some conclusions.

书面话语的民族方法论：将书面话语视为持续的社会行动的分析模型

民族方法论在许多社会科学领域都具有影响力，特别是应用语言学，其中对话分析是分析口头数据的一个主要子领域。尽管如此，民族方法论也可以而且已经有效地应用于书面话语数据，利用其工具和方法来详细描述书面文本如何组装和反射性地使用，作为成员的方法来进行和展示社会行为。本文提出了一个开放的分析模型，以捕捉现有的书面话语的民族方法学分析，并为新的分析创建一个更加透明和可复制的协议。我将民族方法论重建为一组假设和原则，回顾了使用这些原则来分析书面话语的开创性研究，并提出了概括它们的“活动文本”的主要概念。然后，我构建了一个分层的前瞻性-回顾性模型，以形式化书面话语民族方法论中使用的方法。我使用该模型重建了两篇论文的分析方法，以展示它如何用于透明度和复制。讨论部分涵盖定性应用语言学和民族方法学中的建模，并以一些结论结束。
