Conversation analysis is a methodology that originated over three
decades ago as a sociolinguistic approach but has since been
adopted by scholars in a variety of other areas, including applied
linguistics and communication. It is of great utility in second
language acquisition research for its demonstrations of how
micro-moments of socially distributed cognition instantiated in
conversational behavior contribute to observable changes in the
participants' states of knowing and using a new language. This
volume describes the methodology in detail, discusses its relevance
for current theories of SLA, and uses two extended examples of
conversational analysis to show how learners succeed or fail at the
job of learning the meaning of a word or phrase in conversational
context.
This book is one of several in LEA's Second Language Acquisition
Research Series dealing with specific data collection methods or
instruments. Each of these monographs addresses the kinds of
research questions for which the method/instrument is best suited,
its underlying assumptions, a characterization of the
method/instrument and extended description of its use and problems
associated with its use. For more information about these volumes,
