This volume explores a rich variety of linkages between grammar and social interaction.
"Interaction and Grammar is an innovative, informative, interesting, and, in my view, important book...The book is innovative in that the collaboration it reports is among pioneers in articulating work in formal syntax, conversation analysis, and paralinguistics...in investigation of interactional accomplishment. It is informative in illustrating something of the range of autonomously syntactic...prosodic and paralinguistic, pragmatic, and other devices available in different languages/cultures for management of turns...I will read forthcoming studies influenced by this important volume to watch the broader view gain wider acceptance." Allen D. Grimshaw, American Journal of Sociology "Interaction and grammar is a superb collection. No one working in the area of language and interaction can afford to ignore it." Language in Society
