Abstract:

This book presents one of the first attempts at developing a precise, 
grammatically rooted, theory of conversation motivated by data from real 
conversations. The theory has descriptive reach from the micro-conversational - 
e.g. self-repair at the word level - to macro-level phenomena such as multi-party 
conversation and the characterization of distinct conversational genres. It draws 
on extensive corpus studies of the British National Corpus, on evidence from 
language acquisition, and on computer simulations of language evolution. The 
theory provides accounts of the opening, middle game, and closing stages of 
conversation. It also offers a new perspective on traditional semantic concerns 
such as quantification and anaphora. The Interactive Stance challenges 
orthodox views of grammar by arguing that, unless we wish to exclude from 
analysis a large body of frequently occurring words and constructions, the right 
way to construe grammar is as a system that characterizes types of talk in 
interaction.
