Editorial Reviews
Review
"This impressive collection of papers insightfully examines how work is accomplished through talk in various settings....the separate articles have a coherence and consistent analytic focus that is unusual in a collection of separately authored essays....With a strong comparative framework tied to illuminating analysis of how language is itself the primordial locus for human social organization, this collection more than lives up to its goal of describing 'how particular institutions are enacted and lived through as accountable patterns of meaning, inference and action.' Talk at work would make an excellent reader for a course on institutional discourse, and would also serve well as an introduction to current research in the field of conversation analysis.'

"Talk at Work" & "Talk AS work",
This review is from: Talk at Work: Interaction in Institutional Settings (Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics) (Paperback)
This volume collects an excellent set of papers, each concerned with explicating the ways that people, through talk-in-interaction, do institutional work, (and thereby also 'do' or 'achieve' institutions as stable settings). The papers in this volume were written by leaders in the field of conversation analysis, including: Max Atkinson, Jorg Bergman, Graham Button, Steve Clayman, Paul Drew, John Heritage, Gail Jefferson, Douglas Maynard, Emanuel Schegloff, & Don Zimmerman. This book should be read by every serious social scientist.
