 NEW TITLE FROM Continuum - available 28/02/02
 
 HOW TO ANALYSE TALK IN INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS - Edited by Alec McHoul and
 Mark Rapley
 
 A Casebook of Methods
 
 Three approaches to analysing institutional talk are introduced by
 internationally-recognised experts: Conversation Analysis, Discursive
 Psychology and Critical Discourse Analysis. Then the main section of the
 book ("Applications") illustrates these approaches by taking the reader
 through the process of analysis by turning to such matters as how pilots
 talk in aircraft cockpits, how computer helpdesks work and how political
 speeches are constructed. Finally, the book opens up some theoretical and
 methodological controversies that occupy practitioners today. In this way,
 readers are introduced to the most recent ways of seeing how talk is
 critical to making the modern world work.
