The first textbook dedicated to interactional linguistics, focusing
on linguistic analyses of conversational phenomena, this
introduction provides an overview of the theory and methodology of
interactional linguistics. Reviewing recent findings on linguistic
practices used in turn construction and turn taking, repair, action
formation, ascription, and sequence and topic organization, the
book examines the way that linguistic units of varying size -
sentences, clauses, phrases, clause combinations, and particles -
are mobilized for the implementation of specific actions in
talk-in-interaction. A final chapter discusses the implications of
an interactional perspective for our understanding of language as
well as its variation, diversity, and universality. Supplementary
online chapters explore additional topics such as the linguistic
organization of preference, stance, footing, and storytelling, as
well as the use of prosody and phonetics, and further practices
with language. Featuring summary boxes and transcripts from
recordings of everyday conversation, this is an essential resource
for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on language in
social interaction.
