Review
"Everyday Conversation provides a solid and accessible introduction to discourse analysis in general and conversation in particular . . . Throughout, Robert E. Nofsinger illustrates conversation analysis's main principles with examples from actual, recorded conversations. This approach, so central to conversation analysis, serves Nofsinger especially well in this introductory context. He carefully selects the fragments to illustrate particular points and to show the range of empirical materials that conversation analysis addresses." -- Discourse & Society
"Robert E. Nofsinger's book gives a clear, concise account of how conversational turns can be some of the most important moves of the broader game of everyday life." -- Educational Horizons
"This empirically based research sheds important light on human communication and, on a theoretical level, helps correct the information theory models by insisting on rules drawn from empirical observations." -- Communication Research Trends --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
