Media Talk provides an accessible introduction to the analysis of the spoken word by examining linguistic and discursive aspects of broadcast media. Beginning with the observation that talk is central to all genres of radio and television, Ian Hutchby examines the forms of speech used by broadcasters as their primary means of communicating with audiences. He looks at a range of media forms and genres, including televised audience debates, confrontational TV talk shows such as Oprah Winfrey and Ricki Lake, open-line talk radio shows, advice-giving broadcasts, news interviews and political panel

The need for professional reflection has been argued extensively in social work literature. A separate literature has demonstrated the potential of using conversation analytic research (CA) in interventions seeking to inform professional practice in social and health care. Nevertheless, we know little about how social workers actually do 'reflection' and how CA can be used to facilitate reflection, specifically. The objective of this paper is to examine how CA can be used in interventions that develop reflective professional practice. Our dataset consists of audio recordings of 21 mutual learning and innovation platforms, taking place as part of a collaboration between researchers and five Danish social work agencies. We use CA to examine how researchers and professionals reflect on social work interactions. We find that the use of CA (a) makes professionals aware of aspects of practice that are often performed in routinised ways and (b) provides concrete starting points for the non-evaluative reflection on such practice. The paper has implications for researchers and professionals looking to utilise CA in developing reflective practice as it outlines one model for intervention, demonstrates the detailed ways in which reflection may be accomplished in interaction and discusses the organisational requirements of such interventions.

Conversation Analysis: An Introduction by Jack Sidnell is a concise and clear primer to describing, analyzing, and understanding human talk. Combining theoretical descriptions and analysis of transcribed conversations, Sidnell (2010) explains the elements of conversational organization: turn-taking, action and understanding, preference, sequence, repair, turn construction, stories, and openings and closings. In addition, Sidnell opens the discussion about the role of topic and context in conversation analysis. Conversation Analysis: An Introduction is a good guide to conducting conversation analysis. This book is appropriate for those who are not familiar with conversation analysis and want to get a better understanding of this method and its major components. It can also be used to teach conversation analysis to undergraduate and graduate level students.

Summary In order to understand how mutual understanding was achieved in discursive interactions between the welfare service users and service practitioners, conversation analysis was conducted in four discussion panels set up for building consensus on the appropriate structure for user participation in service management. Conversations in eight panel discussion meetings were audio-taped for analysing the talks-in-interaction therein. Drawing on the conversation analysis, the article uncovers the dynamics of consensus building among participants from different epistemic communities. Findings The study identifies the extent of divergence in views among stakeholders, which could have been obscured by the pressure to acquiesce in platform of face-to-face coordination. In the contest for truth between the welfare service users and service practitioners, personal experience has not been accepted as legitimate resource for supporting truth claims. Having limited argument resources on issues of service management, the welfare service users perceived argumentation in panel discussion a threatening venture that they chose to avoid. Avoidance was also a strategy that panel participants employed to maintain mundane interactions in the face of looming dissents. The article argues that the Habermasian communicative ethics are not panacea to the problem of coordination between the welfare service users and service practitioners. An agonistic model of democracy is called for to shift the objective of communication from gauging consensus to encouraging articulation of disagreements in the intricate user participation project. Application The article provides a new direction for developing the user participation imperative to address necessary pluralities among stakeholders of welfare services.

Storytelling Practices in Home and Educational Contexts: Perspectives from Conversation AnalysisEdited by Anna Filipi, Binh Thanh Ta, and Maryanne Theobald(Springer, 2022)

Es ist nicht nur recht beschwerlich, sich durch die vielen unterschiedlichen diskursanalytischen Ansätze zur Untersuchung von Gesprächsinteraktionen hindurchzukämpfen. Eine zusätzliche Herausforderung besteht darin zu verstehen, ob und auf welche Art und Weise die je spezifische Methodik der hinter ihr liegenden theoretischen Komplexität gerecht wird. Hier scheinen Methoden notwendig, die hinreichend sensibel sind, um an der durch sie vermittelten Empirie überhaupt die Komplexität der dahinterliegenden Theorien zu demonstrieren, aus denen heraus erst der Wert und die Bedeutsamkeit einer Analyse entstehen kann. Um diese nicht einfache Aufgabe zu verdeutlichen, sollen zunächst einige aktuell diskutierte Spannungen zwischen zwei besonders prominenten Ansätzen – der Kritischen Diskursanalyse (CDA) und der Konversationsanalyse (CA) – beleuchtet werden. Im besonderen gilt die Aufmerksamkeit einigen neueren methodologischen Bemühungen um eine Verbindung zwischen CDA and CA. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird zu zeigen versucht, dass die "Positioning Analysis" einen gangbaren Weg bereithält, um die diskrepanten methodologischen Orientierungen mit den geteilten theoretischen Überzeugungen von CDA und CA zu vereinbaren.
