Abstract:

Bringing together a diverse collection of studies from a team of international
scholars, this pioneering volume focuses on interactions in shops, exploring
the dynamics of conversation between sellers and customers. Beginning with the
emergence of a 'need' for a product before the request to a seller is actually
made, all the way through to the payment phase, it explores the rich and
deeply methodical practices employed by customers and sellers as they go about
the apparently mundane work of buying and selling small items. It looks at how
seller and customer interact both verbally, and by means of manipulating the
material objects involved, across a range of different kinds of purchase.
Providing new insights into multimodal human interaction and the organisation
of the commercial activity, it aims to bring about a new understanding of the
fundamental ways in which economic value, possession and ownership is
achieved.
