We are pushed and pulled around by language far more than we realize  yet are seduced by stereotypes and myths about communication. This book will change the way you think about talk. It will explain the big pay-offs to understanding conversation scientifically. Elizabeth Stokoe  a social psychologist  has spent over twenty years collecting and analysing real conversations across settings as varied as first dates  crisis negotiation  sales encounters and medical communication. This book describes some of the findings of her own research  and that of other conversation analysts around the world. Through numerous examples from real interactions between friends  partners  colleagues  police officers  mediators  doctors and many others  you will learn that some of what you think you know about talk is wrong. But you will also uncover fresh insights about how to have better conversations - using the evidence from fifty years of research about the science of talk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929263308853,"sku":"ByrdShop_1472140842","price":247.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781472140845.jpg?v=1794195836","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/talk-9781472140845","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
