    This book examines the resources that speakers employ when building
conversations. These resources contribute to overall coherence and
cohesion, which speakers create and maintain interactively as they build
on each other’s contributions. The study is cross-linguistic, drawing on
parallel corpora of task-oriented dialogues between dyads of native
speakers of English and Spanish. The framework of the investigation is
the analysis of speech genres and their staging; the analysis shows that
each stage in the dialogues exhibits different thematic, rhetorical, and
cohesive relations.

     The main contributions of the book are:

    - a corpus-based characterization of a spoken genre (task-oriented
      dialogue);
    - the compilation of a body of analysis tools for generic analysis;
    - application of English-based analyses to Spanish and comparison
      between the two languages; and
    - a study of the characteristics of each generic stage in
      task-oriented dialogue.
