Through everyday talk, individuals forge the ties that can make a
family. Family members use language to manage a household, create
and maintain relationships, and negotiate and reinforce values and
beliefs. The studies gathered in Family Talk are based on a unique
research project in which
four dual-income American families recorded everything they said
for a week. Family Talk extends our understanding of family
discourse and of how family members construct, negotiate, and enact
their identities as individuals and as families. The volume also
contributes to the discourse analysis of
naturally-occurring interaction and makes significant contributions
to theories of framing in interaction.
Family Talk addresses issues central to the academic discipline of
discourse analysis as well as to families themselves, including
decision-making and conflict-talk, the development of gendered
family roles, sociability with and socialization of children, the
development of social and political
beliefs, and the interconnectedness of professional and family
life. It provides illuminating insights into the subtleties of
family conversation, and will be of interest to scholars and
students in sociolinguistics, discourse studies, communications,
anthropological linguistics, cultural studies,
psychology, and other fields concerned with the language of
everyday interaction or family interaction.
