"Taken as a whole, these 36 chapters are extremely useful as a resource for all students and researchers interested in CA. They offer an excellent inventory of what CA has achieved in the 45 years of its existence. In that sense the Handbookis a clear landmark for CA as a field, reconsidering the past as well as looking into the future." (Discourse Studies, 1 June 2014) 'The editors of The Handbook of Conversation Analysis have been successful in compiling a tightly structured collection with chapters that are consistently lucid and comprehensive in their treatment of the 'core' concerns of Conversation Analysis ... The Handbook of Conversation Analysis shows Conversation Analysis's distinctive approach to language and social interaction to be much broader than some caricatures of the field would have us believe and, as such, it should appeal to sociolinguists of various types.' (Susan Ehrlich, Journal of Sociolinguistics 20/2, 2016). "Finally, the state of the art in Conversation Analysis ispresented in a concise handbook. Over five decades, CA has beenused to study talk-in-interaction, profoundly influencing researchdisciplines concerned with human interaction. A comprehensiveaccount of CA in this detail and quality has never been publishedbefore. The community is indebted to Jack Sidnell and TanyaStivers." Johannes Wagner, University of Southern Denmark "A must-read for every student of human interaction.It captures the outstanding interdisciplinary reach of CA andoffers fresh perspectives on foundational issues: its voices areauthoritative and inspirational." Rebecca Clift,University of Essex "An authoritative, wide-ranging overview of conversationanalysis, an ideal tool for advanced students finding their way indoing CA, but useful for all CA practitioners." Paul ten Have, author of "Doing ConversationAnalysis: A Practical Guide"
