'This book admirably fulfils its stated objective of describing
social research methods in action and exploring, from a range of
perspectives, the linguistic shaping of social context. Overall,
this is a balanced, well-edited and coherent collection of papers,
bringing together high quality work from recognized authorities in
the analysis of talk-in-interaction. It is also highly accessible;
it would certainly make an excellent resource book for
undergraduate, graduate (and practising ) social scientists ' "-
Rebecca Clift, University of Essex

'Talk and Interaction in Social Research Methodologies is a
much-needed methods text. Focusing on research methods in action,
the volume offers a new way of viewing the realities of social
research. By taking language use seriously, the text reveals the
details and depths of a wide range of research projects as they
have seldom been presented before.
This is the first book of its kind to offer such a powerful and
insightful depiction of the role of talk-in-interaction in relation
to social research methods. The book s plan is creative and
unparalleled. There s nothing else like it.
The editors Paul Drew, Geoffrey Raymond and Darin Weinberg
represent the very best from multiple traditions of researching
talk-in-interaction from both sides of the Atlantic. The chapters
are written by a sterling collection of researchers a virtual honor
roll of conversation analysts and kindred spirits.
This book is a must read for social researchers of all
disciplines who are interested in social interaction. It should be
assigned reading for all graduate students being introduced to
qualitative methods. It should be on every qualitative researcher s
book shelf. It is a tour de force in demonstrating the absolutely
fundamental position that language use holds in social science
methodology' - "James A Holstein, Marquette University
"
This is a methodology text with a difference. It demonstrates
the importance of talk in a variety of social research
methodologies. Even documents, the seemingly least interactional
form of social data, are shown to have important interactional
dimensions. The book focuses systematically on how sociological
methods are essentially conducted through forms of spoken
interaction, and how these interactions shape the results that
emerge in research. The book demonstrates:
"How spoken interactions shape the outcomes of core research
methodologies
"The role which talk-in-interaction plays in key substantive
areas of sociology notably race, crime, gender and media
"Reveals the interactional underpinnings of research
methodologies
This is the first text aimed at an undergraduate and Master's
audience in Sociology and Social Research, which shows the crucial
part that spoken interaction plays in the conduct and products of
conventional sociological methodologies.
