Talk is at the heart of everyday existence, yet social scientists have traditionally treated it as peripheral to human affairs and social structure. This collection of original essays offers a new and different perspective that sees talk as the fundamental framework of social interaction and social institutions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Talk and Social Structure,
By Todd Goodmon (Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talk and Social Structure: Studies in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (Hardcover)
This book makes you take a new look at conversation and how it effects those around you. I would recommend its fresh perspective to all sociologists and anyone who enjoys a conversation. By reading this book, I dare say, that you will not only pay more attention to what you say, but also learn how to use conversation more effectively. Fascinating. I would give 5 stars but nobody is perfect.
