Good CA article | Jerry Talandis Jr. | April 19th, 2005

Here's a good beginners article on conversation analysis (CA) I found on the net by accident in a search for what "TRPs" are.

Patterns of Talk: A Micro-Landscape Perspective
By Jerry Gale

The Qualitative Report , Volume 4, Numbers 1/2, January, 2000

Abstract

This paper provides a introduction to conversation analysis. CA is traced from its roots to ethnomethodology, and five features of talk are examined (turn taking procedures, adjacency pairs, presequences, formulations, and accounts). Clinical examples are provided. The relevance of CA to clinicians, researchers and supervisors is also discussed.

If you are just beginning ASI and need to know more about basic CA issues, I'd check this out.
