Opis

This book begins with everyday, commonly understood ideas such as "talking too much" and examines how confused speech is "brought off" as a collaborative activity by the people involved.

Recenzje

"Shakespeare has turned a careful investigation of a set of disordered talk into a clear and articulate commentary on what it is to be normal. She shows, with respect, humanity, and analytic rigour, how the confused speaker faces a severe test in coping with the trouble that every speaker must handle if they are to pass as ordinary members of society."
