Description and Table of Contents
Description
This collection offers a multifaceted view of the life, research and impact of Emanuel A. Schegloff, the co-originator, with Harvey Sacks and Gail Jefferson, of Conversation Analysis (or CA), and its leading contemporary authority. The first section introduces Schegloff's life and work, and, using a series of interviews with him, provides a concise, comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field's major aims and achievements. Next many of the world's leading researchers from various disciplines - including Communication, Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Linguistic Anthropology, and Sociology - build on Schegloff's foundational research, analyzing encounters from everyday and institutional settings (conducted in English, German, Korean, Mandarin, and Russian) to explicate how conversation and other conduct in interaction are organized. The final section of the book includes reflections on Schegloff's contributions by some of his major interlocutors and Schegloff's response to them.
