Doing Conversation, Discourse and Document Analysis (Qualitative Research Kit)

Introducing the theory and practice of conversation, discourse and document analysis, this text demonstrates the usefulness of these methods in addressing key questions in the social sciences. Tim Rapley also provides an overview of the particular challenges involved in collecting and analysing data from these sources.

′Rapley opens the door to beginning researchers to how everyday actions might be examined empirically...I hope that this book will encourage many more new qualitative researchers to pursue this kind of work, and be both ′deeply fascinated′ and have ′fun′ as Rapley clearly does in explaining it to others′ - Qualitative Research
