| roceeding from 22 authors assigned 22 different concepts, the book provides an overview of the essential present-day knowledge on linguistic interaction analysis. The authors selected include not only linguists (Bühler, Benveniste, etc.) but also major sociologists (Weber, Sacks, etc.), cultural theoreticians (e.g. Volosinov), and language philosophers (Wittgenstein, Austin, etc.). These are supplemented by more recent authors of rank (e.g. Bourdieu, Luckmann, Hymes, Geertz). Despite the interdisciplinary approach, the general orientation remains squarely linguistic. The spectrum of key concepts includes such terms as action, speech act, culture, intertextuality, subjectivity, performance, genre, etc. |
