Abstract:

This collection assembles early, yet previously unpublished research into
the practices that organize conversational interaction by many of the
central figures in the development and advancement of Conversation Analysis
as a discipline. Using the methods of sequential analysis as first
developed by Harvey Sacks, the authors produce detailed empirical accounts
of talk in interaction that make fundamental contributions to our
understanding of turntaking, action formation and sequence organization.
One distinguishing feature of this collection is that each of the
contributors worked directly with Sacks as a collaborator or was trained by
him at the University of California or both. Taken together this collection
gives readers a taste of CA inquiry in its early years, while nevertheless
presenting research of contemporary significance by internationally known
conversation analysts.
