Written in readable, vivid, non-technical prose, this book, first
published in 2007, presents the highly respected scholarly research
that forms the foundation for Deborah Tannen's best-selling books
about the role of language in human relationships. It provides a clear
framework for understanding how ordinary conversation works to create
meaning and establish relationships. A significant theoretical and
methodological contribution to both linguistic and literary analysis,
it uses transcripts of tape-recorded conversation to demonstrate that
everyday conversation is made of features that are associated with
literary discourse: repetition, dialogue, and details that create
imagery. This second edition features a new introduction in which the
author shows the relationship between this groundbreaking work and the
research that has appeared since its original publication in 1989. In
particular, she shows its relevance to the contemporary topic
'intertextuality', and provides a useful summary of research on that
topic.
