Listen "3: How is dialogue examined?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, host Rod J. Naquin explores three analytical approaches used to study real-world dialogue. We examine discourse analysis, which considers contextual factors in communication to accomplish goals. We explore linguistic ethnography, linking micro-analysis of talk to identity and culture. We cover conversation analysis, uncovering methods people use to smoothly coordinate exchanges through turn-taking and repair. Together, these frameworks reveal how meaning arises through contextual language use, shedding light on the cooperative nature of authentic dialogue.
