Matters of Opinion: Talking About Public Issues (Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics) Book

Matters of Opinion offers an interesting new insight into 'public opinion' as reported in the media, asking where these opinions actually come from, and how they have their effects. Drawing on the analysis of conversations from focus groups, phone-ins and broadcast interviews, Greg Myers argues that members of the public use opinions in order to get along with other people, and how they say things is just as important as what they say. Engaging and informative, this book illuminates current debates on what it means to participate in public life.Read More
