What is Conversation analysis?
'''[[Conversation]] analysis''' (commonly abbreviated as '''CA''') is the study of [[talk]] in [[social interaction]]. CA tries to describe the structure and patterns of interaction, whether this is institutional (in the school, doctor's surgery, courts or elsewhere) or casual conversation. The term “conversation” to label this disciplinary movement is misleading if read in a colloquial sense, as many have. == Other websites == * [http://www-staff.lboro.ac.uk/~ssca1/sitemenu.htm An Introduction to Conversation Analysis] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061205224948/http://www-staff.lboro.ac.uk/~ssca1/sitemenu.htm |date=2006-12-05 }} (by Discourse and Rhetoric Group, Loughborough University) * [http://www.emca.net/bib-comp.html Online bibliography of pre-1990 CA literature] * [http://www.paultenhave.nl/bib90's.htm Online bibliography of post-1989 CA literature] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070403042442/http://www.paultenhave.nl/bib90%27s.htm |date=2007-04-03 }} * [http://www.paultenhave.nl/EMCA.htm Online clearinghouse for the CA community] {{Sci-stub}} [[Category:Science]] [[Category:Human communication]]
