If any student is struggling with getting to grips with Conversation Analysis, then this is the book for you. Schegloff is one of the most knowledgable academics in this area and this book provides confirmation of that fact.
The book is written in a very clear way and is suitable for all students at any level. He provides a step by step guide through all the topics that are necessary to know in this area and also includes several pages of transcription at the back of the book for analysis. All main points are illustrated through the use of examples, however some of the American dialect is a bit tricky to understand.
A worthy addition to any student's bookcase.
