Description
Paul Sullivan introduces readers to a qualitative methodology rooted in the analysis of dialogue and subjectivity: the dialogical approach. This new text unpacks the theory behind this innovative method, relating philosophical and methodological issues to the practical process of qualitative research.
The dialogical approach foregrounds the role of atmosphere, subjectivity, and authorial reflection within texts, enabling researchers to attend to conflicts, judgments, and interpretive activities that take place in language use. Sullivan provides sound practical advice on data preparation and analysis, as well as exploring topics such as direct and indirect discourse, speech genres, hesitations, irony, and other conditions that shape our understanding of dialogue in context.
This book is ideal for anyone interested in doing research with dialogue and keen to attend to the full nuances and complexities of discourse. With theoretical discussion accompanied by research examples and suggestions for practical application, it offers a valuable resource for researchers seeking to develop their skills in this area.
