<p>"More specifically, this book provides an excellent recapitulation of empirical work in four key areas of institutional talk." (<i>Journal of Sociolinguistics</i>, 1 February 2013)</p> <p>"Lastly, as a more general recommendation, I should say that anyone interested in the intersection of context, identity and talk-in interaction would not be spending their time poorly by exploring some of the chapters in this exceptionally well-designed book, and I feel it is safe to say that this book will remain the go-to foundational text for Institutional Conversational Analysis for some time to come." (<i>Journal of Language and Politics</i>, 2012)</p> <p>"As a whole, <i>Talk in Action: Interactions, Identities and Institutionsis</i> a highly recommended, state-of-the-art book for researchers who wish to explore naturally occurring processes and self-construction in face-to-face and telephone institutional communication." (<i>Discourse and Communication</i>, 1 November 2012)</p> <p>"As such, this volume provides a valuable guide to analytical tools for understanding institutional talk. Useful for students and emerging scholars of CA and institutional talk, this volume sheds light on both the analytical approach and conceptual themes that are relevant within these domains and beyond." (<i>Discourse Studies</i>, 2012)</p> <p>"By providing crisp, cogent, and compelling introductions to the fundamentals of CA, these books by Sidnell and Heritage & Clayman will undoubtedly not only help teachers create 'Aha' experiences for their students (Tannen 1984), but also attract and inspire future generations of conversation analytic scholars." (<i>Language in Society</i>, 2011)</p> <p>"Among the great assets of this publication is the comprehensive coverage of research on the areas in focus, conversation analytic or otherwise. This makes the book a perfect starting point for anyone interested in institutional interaction of the varieties described here. True to its conversation analytic roots, the book manages to combine this large-scale overview of the literature with detailed analysis, which is always highly relevant and revealing. This book is an impressive scholarly achievement, spanning a vast amount of research and a wide variety of institutional settings. Any student of talk -- institutional or otherwise -- will find this an indispensable source of conversation analytic insight." (<i>Linguist List</i>, November 2010)</p> <p>"Heritage's and Clayman's book is a comprehensive introduction to the conversation analytic approach to institutional talk, focusing on emergency telephone calls, doctor-patient interactions, interaction in court, and news interviews / mass communication . . .overall, however, this book is an impressive scholarly achievement, spanning a vast amount of research and a wide variety of institutional settings. Any student of talk - institutional or otherwise - will find this an indispensable source of conversation analytic insight." (<i>Linguist List</i>, 1 November 2010)</p>
<b>Steven Clayman</b> is Professor of Sociology at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">California</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Los Angeles</st1:place></st1:City>. He has written extensively on topics relating to conversation analysis and is co-author, with John Heritage, of <i>The News Interview: Journalists and Public Figures on the Air</i> (2002). <p/> <b>John Heritage</b> is Professor of Sociology at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">California</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Los Angeles</st1:place></st1:City>.

<i>Talk in Action</i> explores the workings of language and interaction in the everyday life of institutions. In doing so, it introduces students to the methodology of Conversation Analysis (CA) and its applications in the real world. <p>Beginning with a theoretical and methodological overview of the roots of CA, the book explores the intersections between interactional practices, social identities, and institutional tasks. By focusing on four institutional domains – emergency telephone calls, doctor–patient interactions, law courts, and mass communication – the authors showcase the significance of CA research in areas that have deep impact and significance in our daily lives. </p> <p>This expanding, dynamic field crosses the boundaries of subjects such as linguistics, sociology, and communication studies. <i>Talk in Action</i> provides a necessarily interdisciplinary overview of Conversation Analysis, using a unique focus on real-world applications to provide an engaging and accessible introduction.</p>
<p>"There is no doubt that this important and timely book will become the definitive reference on institutional interaction. It is clear, concise and authoritative. I will use it in my teaching."<br />—<b>Jonathan Potter, Loughborough University</b></p> <p>"The study of language and interaction in institutional settings represents something of a rapprochement between core themes in sociology and sociolinguistics, and is one of the most exciting interdisciplinary fields to have emerged recently. Heritage and Clayman provide a comprehensive, authoritative and highly readable account of the field, suitable for both students and researchers."<br />—<b>Paul Drew, University of York</b></p> <p>"Like predecessors such as <i>Structures of Social Action</i> and <i>Talk at Work</i>, this book promises to set a milestone in the field of conversation analysis. The fact that the materials have been field tested on undergraduates and graduates for years guarantees success in many kinds of courses related to CA or using CA as part of the syllabus. It's a wonderful and eminently readable achievement."<br />—<b>Douglas Maynard, University of Wisconsin-Madison</b></p>
