First published in 1981, Conversation and Discourse attempts to
draw together papers illustrating the various different approaches
to conversational analysis broadly divided into papers of
description and experiment on one hand and papers of theory and
analysis on the other. The ordinary speaker finds conversation to
be by far the easiest variety of language and it is perhaps for
this reason that its manifold, shifting and problematic nature has
been overlooked for so long. The performance errors and eccentric
constructions that characterise conversation make it remarkably
difficult to analyse by orthodox syntactic theory- hence numerous
methodologies have been formulated in the field of inquiry, ranging
from Gricean theories of conversational implicature to
ethnomethodological conversational analysis. This book is a must
read for scholars and researchers of linguistics, language and
literature.
First published in 1984, this book examines a number of questions
on the boundary of competence and performance - whose solutions
have implications for linguistic theory in general. In particular,
the form of grammatical statements, the relationship between
various rules of grammar, the interaction between sentence in a
sequence, and the inferences to be drawn from linguistic behaviour
to linguistic knowledge. The author argues that many grammatical
processes, inadequately handled by conventional sentence-grammars,
require a text grammar in which the basic constitutive processes of
information and deixis can be specified. They ago further to
investigate the novel hypothesis that emphatic structure provides a
crucial condition for the application of transformational rules,
paying particular attention to the 'movement-rules' using mostly
data culled from actual usage.
