Anita Pomerantz is one of the pioneers of Conversation Analysis
(CA), a field that has grown from a small and marginalized subfield
into a significant, international, multidisciplinary field of
inquiry. CA now enjoys widespread acceptance and appreciation,
thanks in large part to Pomerantz's contributions. Asking and
Telling in Conversation collects Pomerantz's most influential
articles across the span of her career, focusing on the
complexities of asking and telling something to another person. The
actions of asking and telling may seem straightforward, but
speakers deal with a number of complexities when they ask and tell.
Pomerantz's work focuses on the ways in which the performances of
asking and telling are shaped by, and shape, the identities of the
participants, the activities in which they are engaged, what was
said and done prior to the actions in question, and the anticipated
reactions to their talk and action. Each of the volume's nine
chapters is framed by original pieces by Pomerantz which discuss
the significance and contribution of the article to current studies
in CA. In addition to the new introductions and closing commentary
for each work, this book includes full introductory and concluding
chapters that draw out the connections across the author's work.
Pomerantz also shares her reflections on preference organization,
which she first analyzed in her foundational research nearly fifty
years ago. Bringing together seminal works of CA with contemporary
analysis in the field, this book sheds new light on important
questions-and answers-in communication studies. A collection of
work from a foremost scholar, Asking and Telling in Conversation is
an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Conversation
Analysis.
