Overview
Gardner (linguistics, U. of New South Wales) and Wagner (language and communication, U. of Southern Denmark) present a collection of 13 invited papers authored by a wide range of scholars working in different linguistic and sociocultural contexts, all of whom have a focus on conversation analysis in second language encounters. The authors examine the natural, casual talk between speakers in a second language to see how they utilize first language practices and whether or not grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation help or hinder the construction of meaning. Examples of English, German, French, Japanese, Finnish, and Danish in professional, educational, and social situations are included. For researchers in applied linguistics and language education, and professionals in language testing and assessment. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
