{"product_id":"small-talk-hardback","title":"Small Talk - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis study presents a new perspective on small talk and its crucial role in everyday communication. The new approach presented here is supported by analyses of interactional data in specific settings - private and public, face-to-face and telephone talk. They vary from gossip at the family dinner table and intimate 'keeping in touch' phone conversations, to interpersonally-focused talk in institutional settings, such as the government office and the university research seminar. Drawing on a range of methodological approaches, including Discourse Analysis and Pragmatics, Interpersonal Communication and Conversation Analysis, the author elevates small talk to a new status, as functionally multifaceted, but central to social interaction as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566969217262,"sku":"9781138152472","price":241.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/small-talk-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
