Abstract:

Telephone conversation is one of the most common forms of
communication in contemporary society. For the first time in human
history, some people are spending as much time, if not more, talking
on the telephone as they are on face-to-face conversations. The aims
of this book are: to bring together in one volume research on
telephone conversations in different languages, to compare and
contrast people's methods of handling telephone conversational tasks
in different communities, and to explore the relationship between
telephone conversational practice and cultural settings. The papers
are based on first-hand, naturally-occurring data obtained from a
variety of languages, including Chinese, Dutch, English, French,
German, Greek, Japanese, Korean, and Persian. Theoretical and
methodological issues pertaining to research on telephone
conversations are discussed.
