We spend much of our days talking. Yet we know little about the
conversational engine that drives our everyday lives. We are pushed
and pulled around by language far more than we realize, yet are
seduced by stereotypes and myths about communication. This book
will change the way you think about talk. It will explain the big
pay-offs to understanding conversation scientifically. Elizabeth
Stokoe, a social psychologist, has spent over twenty years
collecting and analysing real conversations across settings as
varied as first dates, crisis negotiation, sales encounters and
medical communication. This book describes some of the findings of
her own research, and that of other conversation analysts around
the world. Through numerous examples from real interactions between
friends, partners, colleagues, police officers, mediators, doctors
and many others, you will learn that some of what you think you
know about talk is wrong. But you will also uncover fresh insights
about how to have better conversations - using the evidence from
fifty years of research about the science of talk.
