While expanding his coverage to include concerns of non-specialists and students from other disciplines, ten Have continues to describe the basics of the conversational analysis (CA) paradigm, theory and practice. He introduces three primary studies that serve as part of the foundation of CA, means and methods of getting ideas and collecting evidence in CA, and the relationship of CA to different disciplinary objectives. He describes techniques of producing data (collecting and producing recordings, and transcribing talk-in-interaction) and analyzing data (planning analytic strategies and elaborating the analysis). He concludes by presenting forms of applied CA, including institutional interaction and studying local rationalities, formal knowledge, and critical concerns. He provides exercises and recommended reading for each chapter, transcription conventions, a glossary, and tips for presentations and publications.
