We spend much of our days talking. Yet we know little about the conversational engine that drives our everyday lives. We are pushed and pulled around by language far more than we realise, yet are seduced by stereotypes and myths about communication. This resource will change the way you think about talk. It will explain the big pay-offs to understanding conversation scientifically. Elizabeth Stokoe, a social psychologist, has spent over 20 years collecting and analysing real conversations across settings as varied as first dates, crisis negotiation, sales encounters and medical communication. The book describes some of the findings of her own research, and that of other conversation analysts around the world.
