Abstract:

Anita Pomerantz is one of the pioneers of Conversation Analysis (CA), a field
that has grown from a small and marginalized subfield into a significant,
international, multidisciplinary field of inquiry. CA now enjoys widespread
acceptance and appreciation, thanks in large part to Pomerantz's
contributions.

"Asking and Telling in Conversation" collects Pomerantz's most influential
articles across the span of her career, focusing on the complexities of asking
and telling something to another person. The actions of asking and telling may
seem straightforward, but speakers deal with a number of complexities when
they ask and tell. Pomerantz's work focuses on the ways in which the
performances of asking and telling are shaped by, and shape, the identities of
the participants, the activities in which they are engaged, what was said and
done prior to the actions in question, and the anticipated reactions to their
talk and action. Each of the volume's nine chapters is framed by original
pieces by Pomerantz which discuss the significance and contribution of the
article to current studies in CA. In addition to the new introductions and
closing commentary for each work, this book includes full introductory and
concluding chapters that draw out the connections across the author's work.
Pomerantz also shares her reflections on preference organization, which she
first analyzed in her foundational research nearly fifty years ago.
 
Bringing together seminal works of CA with contemporary analysis in the field,
this book sheds new light on important questions-and answers-in communication
studies. A collection of work from a foremost scholar, Asking and Telling in
Conversation is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of
Conversation Analysis
