Laughter in Interaction (Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics) Book

Laughter in Interaction is an illuminating and lively account of how and why people laugh during conversation. Bringing together 25 years of reseach on the sequential organization of laughter in everyday talk, Glenn analyzes recordings and transcripts to show the finely-detailed coordination of human laughter. He demonstrates that its production and placement, relative to talk and other activities, reveals much about its emergent meaning and accomplishments. Engaging and original, the book shows how laughter plays a significant role in how people display, respond to, and revise identities and relationships.Read More
