Identities in Talk

Synopsis of Identities in Talk

Identities in Talk explores how identities are constructed in everyday life through ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. By closely examining transcripts of real social interactions, the authors analyze how individuals are categorized in various social contexts and how these identities are negotiated in communicative exchanges. This volume is a fundamental reference for students and researchers in social psychology, sociology, and communication studies. Edited by Charles Antaki and Sue Widdicombe, the book provides deep insights into the discursive construction of identity, making it an essential resource for understanding the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and language in academic settings.
