Conversation is one of the most widespread uses of human language,
but what is actually happening when we interact this way? How is
conversation structured? How does it function? Answering these
questions and more, An Introduction to Conversation Analysis is an
essential overview of this topic for students in a wide range of
disciplines including sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and
sociology. This is the only book you need to learn how to do
conversation analysis. Beginning by positioning conversation
analysis amongst other methodologies, this book explains the
advantages before guiding you step-by-step through how to do
conversation analysis and what it reveals about the ways language
works in communication. Chapters introduce every aspect of
conversation analysis logically and clearly, covering topics such
as transcription, turn-taking, sequence organisation, repair, and
storytelling. Now fully revised and expanded to take account of
recent developments, this third edition includes: - 3 new chapters,
covering action formation and epistemics, multimodality and spoken
interaction, and written conversation - New topics including online
and mobile technology, cross-cultural conversation and medical
discourse - A glossary of key terms, brand new exercises and
updated lists of further reading - A fully updated companion
website, featuring tutorials, audio and video files, and a range of
different exercises covering turn taking, organisation and repair
