Based on research focusing on the experience of having confused
speech and being with confused speakers, this book begins with
everyday, commonly understood ideas such as "talking too much" and
examines how confused speech is "brought off" as a collaborative
activity by the people involved. The author became involved in this
project because she was interested in how "confusion" seemed to be
something that everyone is not only involved in but also recognizes
as part of ordinary life. At the same time, "confusion" is a word
that is used somewhat as a blanket category for some people
considered permanently incompetent and "set apart" from ordinary
members of society. Her study analyzes how talk between confused
and normal speakers throws light on this tension.
