Summary:

'Asking and Telling in Conversation' is a collection of Anita Pomerantz's research focusing on the complexities of asking and telling something to another person. Pomerantz is one of the pioneers of the multidisciplinary field of conversation analysis, and this book brings together nine of her most influential articles - each framed with a new introduction discussing the central research question and concluding remarks explaining her current views. Combining foundational articles with contemporary frameworks and new material in a single volume, this book is an important contribution to communication studies.
