`This is one of those books that, researchers, students and
teachers want to have on their desks, because it answers questions,
clarifies confusing areas, and provides accessible overviews of
sometimes technical work - and all in prose that is unpretentious
and engaging' - British Journal of Sociology `There is no doubt
that conversation analysis (CA) is an impressive and valuable
approach to studying discourse, and Wooffitt does an excellent job
of demonstrating its analytical sophistication and rigour' -
European Journal of Communication `This is an excellent book:
clear, engaging and authoritative. It treads a path through the
many confusions and provides a map of the fields of conversation
analysis, discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis and
discursive psychology which is better than any currently available.
It will be a valuable resource in teaching' - Professor Jonathan
Potter, Loughborough University `An excellent exposition: concepts
are explained and put into context, and the reader is guided from
introductory to advanced levls of discussion. Wooffitt sets out and
answers the kinds of questions typically raised by students and
others about relations and differences between discourse and
conversation analysis... engaging and useful' - Professor Derek
Edwards, Loughborough University This significant text by Robin
Wooffitt is the first to systematically examine the complex
relationship between conversation analysis and discourse analysis.
It comes at a timely moment: despite the close connection between
the two forms of analyses in academic research, no other existing
text explains these links methodically, comprehensively and for the
benefit of undergraduate and master's students. Key features of
this text: - It takes students from first principles up to more
advanced debates, and is therefore suitable for under grad and
MA/PhD students. - Careful illustration of methodological
approaches through detailed analysis of data. - Clarity of writing;
lengthy chapter summaries; further readings; glossary of CA/DA
terminology as an appendix. Conversation Analysis and Discourse
Analysis shows how the methods and findings of conversation and
discourse analysis may inform the development of empirical research
questions. It will therefore be an invaluable resource for social
science students on courses which require them to undertake
practical or empirical exercises.
