In this book sixteen international scholars of language and social
interaction describe their distinct frameworks of analysis. Taking
conversation analysis and interactional sociolinguistics as their
points of departure and investigating ordinary conversation as well
as institutions such as health care, therapy, and city council
meetings, they often incorporate gesture, prosody, and the
listener's behavior in the analysis of talk. While some approaches
are grounded in a critique of the major schools of interaction
analysis, others integrate the interactionist perspective with
ideas from fields such as systemic-functional linguistics,
distributed cognition, and the sociology of knowledge. Each chapter
combines a statement of the terms and methods of analysis with an
exemplary analysis of a moment of interaction.

Language and Interaction gives an excellent overview of the
novelty and diversity of interaction-focused perspectives on
language and of the heterogeneity of approaches that have evolved
from the pioneering work of Sacks and Schegloff, Gumperz, and their
co-workers.
