OverviewContributing to linguistics and discourse analysis, this book examines how individuals construct themselves and their actions through the transformative power of language. The first three chapters assess the established literature on accountability practices. The following four chapters test received wisdom through close examination of accounts in specific social contexts. The final chapter reviews the theoretical controversies in terms of the social contexts. The book is intended for academics and researchers in interpersonal communication, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and discourse analysis.
