Opis

Bringing together twenty-five years of research on the sequential organization of laughter in everyday talk, Phillip Glenn analyzes recordings and transcripts to indicate the finely-detailed coordination of human laughter. He demonstrates that its occurrence, relative to talk and other activities, reveals much about its emergent meaning and effects. The book considers laughter's significant role in how people display, respond to, and revise identities and relationships.

Recenzje

'Laughter in Interaction by Phillip Glenn is a good textbook for those interested in laughter in social settings as a research study. … a tremendous amount of knowledge placed in a small book of a little over 150 pages. … Even though the book is short, it contains much information. … Glenn has done a fine job of managing a very complex subject …' SIL International
