Overview

This introduction is designed to give an overview of conversation analysis. It begins by locating conversation analysis as a methodology amongst other methodologies, and describing conversation analysis as body of knowledge which reveals the ways in which language works in communication. The chapters introduce every aspect of conversation analysis in a logical, step-by-step examination, including coverage of transcription, turn-taking, sequence organisation, repair, and storytelling. The new edition is revised and expanded with an accompanying Companion Website. Comprehensive and accessible, An Introduction to Conversation Analysis is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, sociology and applied linguistics courses.

Reviews

His work differs from other recent books... the understanding of what this methodology is about is as important as the discussion of how to apply it... Liddicoat is so successful in explaining complex ideas and subtle observations in a logical step that I hope many L2 researchers, teachers, and learners will be prompted to examine the significance of taken-for-granted mechanisms that make our everyday interactions work. * Studies in Second Language Acquisition * Provide[s] new students and established scholars alike with a useful toolkit for understanding and analyzing how humans act and organize their acts in the world. * Journal of Sociolinguistics * Although the book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students of sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, sociology, and applied linguistics, anyone interested in analysing talk will find something in this text ... [It is] to the point, engaging, and an excellent reference for applying conversational analysis in any social setting. * Asian EFL Journal *
