Conversation Analysis Reviews

Overall, I was very favorably impressed by ConversationAnalysis: An Introduction ... n its own terms, I particularlyliked the straightforward, accessible style that Sidnell uses todiscuss complex ideas and materials. (Journal ofSociolinguistics, 1 February 2013) To conclude, this introduction is a rich source ofauthentic examples and will serve interested students and scholarsvery well. (Discourse and Communication, 1November 2012)"The interdisciplinary research method and field of conversationanalysis (CA) is remarkably well-suited to helping teachers achievethis objective, because CA provides tools that enable first theperception, and then the scientific description and analysis ofregular patterns of human social conduct - patterns that organize,and make meaningful, the world of everyday life." (Language inSociety, 2011)
