This book has three objectives. First, it sets out to introduce conversation analysis (CA) and discourse analysis (DA) as methodological approaches to the study of talk, both of which have far-reaching implications for our understanding of social interaction and the role of discourse and communication in everyday lifeThe book is organized into three parts. Assuming no prior knowledge, the first four chapters introduce students to the way in which conversation analysis has transformed our understanding of how people interact together when they are talking. These first four chapters are designed for undergraduates with no prior knowledge of conversation or discourse analysis. Chapters 5 and 6 outline two foci for discourse analytic research since its emergence in social psychology. Chapter 7 departs from discourse analysis to cover critical discourse analysis and Foucauldian discourse analysis. In Chapters 8 and 9, there is the assess of the strength of two related criticisms of conversation analysis.
