Beskrivning

This book focuses on conversation analysis in Czech, including the prosody-syntax-interface and online-syntax in real time that deals with turn initiating elements in everyday conversations. By combining a pragmatic formal theory with a formal syntax model, this book serves as a guide to the problems of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of spoken everyday talk and as a handbook on conversational analysis.

Recensioner i media

This book fills a much-underexplored niche by providing an original perspective on the grammatical mechanisms involved in turn-taking in casual conversation and the underlying formal systematicity of everyday linguistic interaction. Its novel approach to the object of study, grounded on conversational analysis as much as on generative syntax, make this a valuable resource for a wide readership.
