Analysing Casual Conversation, first published in 1997 by Cassell,
develops a systematic model for the analysis and description of
casual conversation in English. Working through authentic examples
of casual conversations involving participants differing in age,
gender, ethnicity and socio-economic class, the authors argue that
despite its sometimes aimless appearance and apparently
unstructured content, casual conversation is a highly structured
activity and plays a critical role in the social construction of
reality. Drawing on insights from sociology, linguistics and
critical semiotics, the book equips readers with the analytic
skills to describe the layers of structure and critical
interpretive frameworks to explain the 'social work' that goes on
through chat. Suzanne Eggins is Senior Lecturer in the School of
English, University of New South Wales, Sydney Diana Slade is
Professor of Applied Linguistics in the Faculty of Education at the
University of Technology, Sydney.
