Applying Sociolinguistics: Domains and face-to-face interaction (IMPACT: Studies in Language and Society)

Diana Boxer's Applying Sociolinguistics: Domains and Face-to-Face Interaction is an up-to-date overview of discourse studies in oral interaction. Its focus is on encounters in the various spheres of life: family, educational, social, religious, and work, with an additional chapter on cross-cultural face-to-face interaction in these domains. Each chapter reviews current research in that specific domain, with particular attention to methodological issues. For example, in-depth explanations are offered to the reader on how the various approaches to studying face-to-face discourse (e.g. ethnographic, conversational analytic, interactional sociolinguistic) lend themselves to answering different research questions.Diana Boxer is the author of 'Applying Sociolinguistics: Domains and face-to-face interaction (IMPACT: Studies in Language and Society)', published 2002 under ISBN 9781588111975 and ISBN 1588111970.
