“Overall, I was very favorably impressed by Conversation Analysis: An Introduction. . n its own terms, I particularly liked the straightforward, accessible style that Sidnell uses to discuss complex ideas and materials.”  (Journal of Sociolinguistics, 1 February 2013)

“To conclude, this introduction is a rich source of authentic examples and will serve interested students and scholars very well.”  (Discourse and Communication, 1 November 2012)

"The interdisciplinary research method and field of conversation analysis (CA) is remarkably well-suited to helping teachers achieve this objective, because CA provides tools that enable first the perception, and then the scientific description and analysis of regular patterns of human social conduct - patterns that organize, and make meaningful, the world of everyday life." (Language in Society, 2011)
