Opis

Written by some of the leading figures in the fields of conversation analysis, discursive psychology and ethnomethodology, this book looks at the challenging implications of new discourse approaches to the topic of cognition. It provides a survey of cutting-edge debates about discourse and cognition as well as a range of illustrative analyses which show how the notion of cognition can be reworked. This comprehensive and accessible book will make an important contribution to the development of a more integrated approach to language and cognition.

Recenzje

'Conversation and Cognition is a remarkable volume … The burgeoning field of discursive psychology may still have one or two philosophical kinks to iron out of its program, though it largely deserves the credit for bringing these issues into sharp relief. In my opinion on this particular showing, ethnomethology stands apart in its clarity on the relations between cognition and conversation.' Human Studies
