“Overall, I was very favorably impressed by Conversation Analysis: An Introduction . . . n its own terms, Iparticularly liked the straightforward, accessible style that Sidnell uses to discuss complex ideas and materials.” (Journal of Sociolinguistics, 1 February 2013)“To conclude, this introduction is a rich source of authentic examples and will serve interested students and scholars very well.” (Discourse and Communication, 1 November 2012)"The book is overall an excellent introductory text for the undergraduate level ... On the whole, the book provides a good foundation for a student entering the field, with the main concepts and questions of CA discussed in an informal and engaging way." (Discourse Studies, 2011) "The interdisciplinary research method and field of conversation analysis (CA) is remarkably well-suited to helping teachers achieve this objective, because CA provides tools that enable first the perception, and then the scientific description and analysis of regular patterns of human social conduct - patterns that organize, and make meaningful, the world of everyday life." (Language in Society, 2011)
