Synopses & Reviews
This book looks at the challenging implications of new discourse approaches to the topic of cognition.
Review
"This book has the potential to do in psychology what the classic edited works in CA (e.g. Atkinson and Heritage, 1984; Drew and Heritage 1992) have done in sociology. However, it has also initiated a serious cross-fertilization of ideas between interaction researchers in the disciplines of (primarily) sociology and psychology, and will bring concerns and ideas developed in DP to new audiences."
