Reviews for The Handbook of Conversation Analysis

?Taken as a whole, these 36 chapters are extremely useful as a resource for all students and researchers interested in CA. They offer an excellent inventory of what CA has achieved in the 45 years of its existence. In that sense the Handbookis a clear landmark for CA as a field, reconsidering the past as well as looking into the future.? (Discourse Studies, 1 June 2014) ?This magnificent volume is essential reading for specialists and interested non-specialists alike. Above all, it will provide a brilliant teaching resource. With this Handbook, CA has come of age.? (The Sociological Review, 21 October 2013) ?However, these minor criticisms aside, the book is a must-have resource for learning, teaching and conducting research in CA, and as such essential reading for both students and academics.? (LINGUIST List, 15 July 2013) ?Finally, the state of the art in Conversation Analysis is presented in a concise handbook. Over five decades, CA has been used to study talk-in-interaction, profoundly influencing research disciplines concerned with human interaction. A comprehensive account of CA in this detail and quality has never been published before. The community is indebted to Jack Sidnell and Tanya Stivers.? ?Johannes Wagner, University of Southern Denmark ?A must-read for every student of human interaction. It captures the outstanding interdisciplinary reach of CA and offers fresh perspectives on foundational issues: its voices are authoritative and inspirational.? ?Rebecca Clift, University of Essex An authoritative, wide-ranging overview of conversation analysis, an ideal tool for advanced students finding their way in doing CA, but useful for all CA practitioners. ? Paul ten Have, author of ?Doing Conversation Analysis: A Practical Guide?
