Description
Conversation Analysis: A linguistic introduction to the field that has illuminated the mechanics of interaction. This book provides an overview of the origins and methodology of conversation analysis, using conversational data from a range of languages to examine the basic apparatus of sequence organisation.
The twin analytic resources of action and sequence are used to throw new light on the origins and nature of language use, shedding light on turn-taking, preference, identity construction and repair. By exploring these concepts in depth, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of conversation analysis.
