About this title

Synopsis

This collection of studies by Gail Jefferson, one of the co-founders of the field of Conversation Analysis, represents a distinctive and sustained investigation of speakers correcting errors in their own and one another's speech. Combining rigorous technical analysis, methodological innovation, and acute observation, Jefferson explores the subterranean world of interaction.
