Organized into five sections, it outlines the history and theory, methods, fundamental concepts, and core contexts in the study of social interaction, as well as topics central to conversation analysis. Each section brings together contributions by leading international experts to provide an in-depth review of these areas and their findings.

They offer an excellent inventory of what CA has achieved in the 45 years of its existence. In that sense the Handbookis a clear landmark for CA as a field, reconsidering the past as well as looking into the future." (<i>Discourse Studies</i>, 1 June 2014)<br /><br /></p> 'The editors of The Handbook of Conversation Analysis have been successful in compiling a tightly structured collection with chapters that are consistently lucid and comprehensive in their treatment of the 'core' concerns of Conversation Analysis ... The Handbook of Conversation Analysis shows Conversation Analysis's distinctive approach to language and social interaction to be much broader than some caricatures of the field would have us believe and, as such, it should appeal to sociolinguists of various types.'
