Description

Introduction to Interactional Linguistics: Understanding Language in Social Context This comprehensive textbook provides an introduction to interactional linguistics, focusing on linguistic analyses of conversational phenomena. It reviews recent findings on linguistic practices used in turn construction and turn taking, repair, action formation, ascription, and sequence and topic organization. The book explores how linguistic units are mobilized for the implementation of specific actions in talk-in-interaction, examining the role of sentences, clauses, phrases, clause combinations, and particles. A final chapter discusses the implications of an interactional perspective for our understanding of language, its variation, diversity, and universality. Additional online chapters provide further insights into topics such as linguistic organization of preference, stance, footing, storytelling, prosody, phonetics, and language practices. With summary boxes and transcripts from everyday conversation recordings, this book is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on language in social interaction.
