New book

[Leila Monaghan]

Hi,

Jane Goodman & I are happy to announce the publication of our new 
collection of readings, A Cultural Approach to Interpersonal 
Communication, just published by Blackwell.  It was designed to give 
students the theoretical and methodological tools to do their own 
transcription-based ethnographies and includes short pieces on how to 
read difficult texts, how to do transcription and a wide range of 
ethnographies that reflect young adult language practices including 
work by Richard Bauman, Mary Bucholtz, Robert Garot, Scott Kiesling, 
Elinor Ochs, Harriet Ottenheimer, Deborah Tannen, Jim Wilce and many, 
many others.  We were particularly interested in language practices the 
typical student might find in naturally occurring conversations among 
their own friends and family such as variation by gender, ethnicity and 
region, and slang and swearing.
