Description: Identities in Talk gathers together, in a collection of chapters drawing on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, arguments which show that identities are constructed 'live' in the exchange of talk. By closely examining tapes and transcripts of real social interactions from a wide range of situations, this volume examines just how it is that a person can be ascribed to a category and what features about that category are consequential for the interaction.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [207]-217) and index.
