Talk and Social Theory will be an essential text for
students of sociolinguistics and the analysis of discourse in
conversation.
- introduces the study of 'talk' linked to social theory;
- develops a new theoretical argument that reviews the relations
between local social practices and general societal processes of
talk;
- the use of everyday examples - a family dinner table, a school
classroom, an academic advising session in an community college -
enhances the book’s appeal to a non-specialist as well as a
specialist audience;
- reviews the key theoretical perspectives and conceptual
frameworks in social theory and in the sociolinguistic study of
talk.
