It treads a path through the many confusions and provides a map of the fields of conversation analysis, discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis and discursive psychology which is better than any currently available. It will be a valuable resource in teaching' - Professor Jonathan Potter, Loughborough University 'An excellent exposition: concepts are explained and put into context, and the reader is guided from introductory to advanced levls of discussion.Wooffitt sets out and answers the kinds of questions typically raised by students and others about relations and differences between discourse and conversation analysis!
