El. knyga: Critical Conversation Analysis: Inequality and Injustice in Talk-in-Interaction

At last, a volume devoted to the promise of CA and MCA for equity-oriented praxis in applied linguistics. Waring and Tadic's timely collection substantively advances the debate about motivated CA and MCA, and will be of relevance to apprentice and experienced researchers concerned with how inequity and social injustice are produced, reproduced, and resisted in interaction. * Steven Talmy, University of British Columbia, Canada * This is an exceptionally timely and important collection of critical CA work that powerfully demonstrates how inequalities and injustice are embedded and reproduced in talk-in-interaction. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the everyday production of discrimination and how it can be interactionally exposed and challenged. * Susan Speer, University of Manchester, UK * For decades, issues of power, inequality, injustice, prejudice and discrimination have been simmering in the literature of Conversation Analysis. Now, in this remarkable volume, the pot that contains these issues has come to a full boil. The studies by seasoned authors and collaborators leave basic research in CA with its own continued integrity, but the cumulative, spillover effects of Critical Conversation Analysis will shift analytic attention in the field immediately and for years to come. Readers take note! * Douglas W. Maynard, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin, USA *
