The Study
Recording of 46 Student-Client Interviews
Transcriptions of Recordings
Analyzed Using Conversation Analysis
Conversation Analysis
“the dominant approach to the study of human social interaction across
the disciplines of Sociology, Linguistics and Communication.” Tanya
Stivers & Jack Sidnell, Introduction to THE HANDBOOK OF
CONVERSATION ANALYSIS 1 (Jack Sidnell & Tanya Stivers eds., 2013).
Relies on the “close examination of language in interaction.” APPLIED
CONVERSATION ANALYSIS: INTERVENTION AND CHANGE IN
INSTITUTIONAL TALK 1-2 (Charles Antaki ed., 2011).
Does not involve any beginning hypothesis or intervention, but a careful
study of the transcripts to see what lessons emerge
Lessons from the Transcripts
