Overall, I was very favorably impressed by ConversationAnalysis: An Introduction ... n its own terms, I particularly liked the straightforward, accessible style thatSidnell uses to discuss complex ideas and materials. (Journal of Sociolinguistics, 1 February 2013) To conclude, this introduction is a rich source ofauthentic examples and will serve interested students and scholarsvery well. (Discourse and Communication, 1November 2012)"The book is overall an excellent introductory text for theundergraduate level ... On the whole, the book provides a goodfoundation for a student entering the field, with the main conceptsand questions of CA discussed in an informal and engaging way."(Discourse Studies, 2011) "The interdisciplinary research method and field of conversationanalysis (CA) is remarkably well-suited to helping teachers achievethis objective, because CA provides tools that enable first theperception, and then the scientific description and analysis ofregular patterns of human social conduct - patterns that organize,and make meaningful, the world of everyday life." (Language inSociety, 2011)
