The Handbook of Conversation Analysis by Jack Sidnell

The Handbook of Conversation Analysis by Jack Sidnell

Presenting a comprehensive overview of theoretical and descriptive research in the field, this book is suitable for scholars of social interaction across the areas of conversation analysis, discourse analysis, linguistic anthropology, interpersonal communication, discursive psychology and sociolinguistics.

"The editors of The Handbook of Conversation Analysis have been successful in compiling a tightly structured collection with chapters that are consistently lucid and comprehensive in their treatment of the 'core' concerns of Conversation Analysis... The Handbook of Conversation Analysis shows Conversation Analysis's distinctive approach to language and social interaction to be much broader than some caricatures of the field would have us believe and, as such, it should appeal to sociolinguists of various types."
—Susan Ehrlich, Journal of Sociolinguistics 20/2, 2016

"Taken as a whole, these 36 chapters are extremely useful as a resource for all students and researchers interested in CA. They offer an excellent inventory of what CA has achieved in the 45 years of its existence. In that sense the Handbook is a clear landmark for CA as a field, reconsidering the past as well as looking into the future." (Discourse Studies, 1 June 2014)

"This magnificent volume is essential reading for specialists and interested non-specialists alike. Above all, it will provide a brilliant teaching resource. With this Handbook, CA has come of age." (The Sociological Review, 21 October 2013)

"However, these minor criticisms aside, the book is a must-have resource for learning, teaching and conducting research in CA, and as such essential reading for both students and academics." (LINGUIST List, 15 July 2013)
