Laughter is pervasive in interaction yet often overlooked in the
research. This volume presents a collection of original studies
revealing the highly-ordered, complex, and important phenomenon of
laughter in everyday interactions. Building on 40 years of
conversation analytic research, the authors show how the design and
placement of laughs contribute to unfolding sequences, social
activities, identities, and relationships. In this revealing study
leading experts investigate laughter in a range of different
contexts and across a variety of languages. The research
demonstrates that laughter is not simply a reaction to humour but
is used in a fascinating array of different ways. Findings reported
here include its use in clinics, employment interviews, news
interviews, classrooms, the discourse of children with severe
autism, and ordinary conversations. The acoustics of laughter and
its relationship to movement, gaze and gesture are also explored.
The volume brings together new and influential research into this
phenomenon to present the state-of-the-art. It will be invaluable
to anyone interested in the study of interaction, conversation
analysis, humour and laughter.
