Description

Explore the foundations of discourse analysis with this revised edition of Conversational Style by Deborah Tannen. Originally published in 1984, this work serves as the basis for Tannen's highly influential career and her widely read books such as You Just Don't Understand and That's Not What I Meant!. Through a detailed examination of a two-and-a-half hour Thanksgiving dinner conversation among six speakers, Tannen analyzes the specific features that make up human talk. This book provides a deep look into how people interact, offering a methodology that became the hallmark of her extensive body of work. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the psychology of communication and the mechanics of social interaction. This edition is a must-have for those studying how conversation functions in real-world settings. Whether you are researching linguistic patterns or social dynamics, Tannen's analysis offers a clear window into the way friends and family communicate.
