Description: Conditional relevance refers to the property that obtains between an initiating action and its type-fitted responsive action whereby the producer of an initial action makes relevant the production of a type fitted response by its recipient. The conditional relevance of the responsive action, in other words, is conditional upon the production of a first initiating action.
