I agreed to write a book notice for eLanguage for this text thinking that it might be something to use/refer to in my graduate-level language and identity class. I might use a couple of the chapters but I see no need to add the entire book into the syllabus.

Excellent introduction to conversation analysis. Highly recommend it
