Explanations identify causes, back up claims and justify actions.
Social scientists study them because they reveal how people
understand and construct their worlds. This stimulating book offers
a critical review of the major approaches to the study of everyday
explaining and arguing.
Using concrete examples to illuminate the range of contemporary
approaches, Antaki's concern is to test theory against practice. He
draws a picture of explanation as a richly social achievement of
speaker and audience, involving a balance between delicate
manoeuvre and the exercise of discursive power.
