Studies of language use in social contexts have multiplied in
recent decades, yet relatively little attention has been paid to
the important area of conflict talk. The eleven studies in this
volume fulfil this need, using analytic and interpretative
perspectives to examine the disputes of adults and of children.
Most of the studies are based on audio or sound-image records of
naturally occurring discourse arising in a variety of contexts.
These range from street to school, from courtroom to hospital, and
from home to workplace. Allen Grimshaw has provided a short
introductory chapter and extensive theoretical conclusion to the
studies, which come from a variety of disciplines: the authors
comprise anthropologists, linguists, sociologists, a lawyer and a
psychologist. The book will appeal to researchers and advanced
students in all of these areas, and also to counsellors, legal
professionals and negotiators.
