This book provides a basic approach to the linguistic analysis of conversation, building toward a theory of the aesthetics of conversation by analyzing spontaneous talk among friends. It sheds light on such issues as pacing, turn-taking, storytelling, and humor, showing the effects on interaction when participants' conversational styles differ. Its readability makes it suitable for use as a text in discourse analysis at all levels.

Based on a year-long micro-ethnography of a nursery school, this book presents a unique approach to childhood socialization by focusing directly upon the social, interactive, and communicative processes that make up the world of young children.

Stable features of peer culture in the nursery school are identified, and the importance of interpreting children's behavior from...

The book represents the first attempt to summarize the major factors in the ongoing debate on ideology and psychology. The contributions on historical development focus on concrete research areas, and show the importance of the social context and ideology in the development of psychology. The contrast between positivist and dialectical psychology is a major contribution reflected in many of the chapters. Suggestions are also made for new alternatives to assist in the orientation of psychology.

This text presents a new model of conversation based on time, in this case referring both to the rhythmic organization of conversation, the tempo, and to the right time or timing. These two notions of time correspond to two major systems governing conversation: the turn taking system and the rapport system. This model interweaves linguists' work on spoken discourse, sociologists' work on conversation analysis, and psychologists' work on non-verbal communication. This volume also explores the evolution of the interview as a genre which creates a particular context for conversation....
