Abstract:

We live our lives in conversation, building families, societies and
civilisations. In over seven thousand languages across the world, the basic
infrastructure by which we communicate remains the same. This is the first
ever book-length linguistic introduction to conversation analysis (CA), the
field that has done more than any other to illuminate the mechanics of
interaction. Starting by locating CA by reference to a number of cognate
disciplines investigating language in use, it provides an overview of the
origins and methodology of CA. By using conversational data from a range of
languages, it examines the basic apparatus of sequence organisation:
turn-taking, preference, identity construction and repair. As the basis for
these investigations, the book uses the twin analytic resources of action and
sequence to throw new light on the origins and nature of language use.
 



1. Introduction: why study conversation?; 2. Towards an understanding of
action: origins and perspectives; 3. Why that, now?: position and composition
in interaction; 4. Interaction in time: the centrality of turntaking; 5. The
structure of sequences I: preference organisation; 6. The structure of
sequences II: knowledge and authority in the construction of identity; 7.
Halting progressivity: the organisation of repair; 8. Conclusion: discovering
order.
