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.
