Conversation and Gender
Conversation analysts have begun to challenge long-cherished assumptions
about the relationship between gender and language, asking new questions
about the interactional study of gender and providing fresh insights into the
ways it may be studied empirically. Drawing on a lively set of audio- and
video-recorded materials of real-life interactions, including domestic tele-
phone calls, children’s play, mediation sessions, police-suspect interviews,
psychiatric assessments and calls to telephone helplines, this volume is the
fi rst to showcase the latest thinking and cutting-edge research of an inter-
national group of scholars working on topics at the intersection of gender and
conversation analysis. Theoretically, it pushes forward the boundaries of our
understanding of the relationship between conversation and gender, charting
new and exciting territory. Methodologically, it offers readers a clear, prac-
tical understanding of how to analyse gender using conversation analysis, by
presenting detailed demonstrations of this method in use.
