Description

The book explores ways in which the formal methods of linguistics can cast light on the structure of verbal interaction, and in particular considers how successive utterances cohere together in continuous spoken discourse. Beginning with an earlier model of discourse analysis elaborated to deal with teacher-pupil interaction in the classroom, it then reviews attempts to extend this model to a variety of discourses such as committee talk, doctor-patient interviews, broadcast discussions and the monologue of lectures. This extension has prompted a number of innovations and additional insights. There are contributions on the role of intonation and of kinetics in discourse analysis; explorations of the problems of the analytic category 'sentence' and of the problems raised by casual conversation; and there is extended discussion of the structural properties underlying exchanges of utterances.
