About this book
Reviews
“The contributions in the book are easy to read, which makes the book accessible for doctoral researchers or students of linguistics or sociology who are interested in interactional research. … the volume is suitable for senior scholars generally interested in human interaction; it serves as a great handbook of social activities in the fields of Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics. Finally, the contributions in the volume are of high quality and worth reading in their own right.” (Journal of Pragmatics, Vol. 156, 2020)
