This engaging text explores how everyday talk--the ordinary kinds
of communicating that people do in schools, workplaces, and among
family and friends--expresses who we are and who we want to be. The
authors interweave rhetorical and cultural perspectives on the
"little stuff" of conversation: what we say and how we say it, the
terms used to refer to others, the content and style of stories we
tell, and more. Numerous detailed examples show how talk is the
vehicle through which people build relationships. Students gain
skills for thinking more deeply about their own and others'
communicative practices, and for understanding and managing
interactional difficulties. New to This Edition *Updated throughout
to incorporate the latest discourse analysis research. *Chapter on
six specific speech genres (for example, organizational meetings
and personal conversation). *Two extended case studies with
transcripts and discussion questions. *Coverage of digital
communication, texting, and social media. *Additional
cross-cultural examples. Pedagogical Features *A preview and
summary in every chapter. *Accessible explanations of core
concepts. *End-of-book glossary. *Endnotes that identify key
authors and suggest further reading.
