To add to the suggested literature: Locher, Miriam. 2004. Power and politeness in action: Disagreement in oral communication. Mouton De Gruyter. If memory serves, I think Margaret L. McLaughlin's Conversation: How Talk is Organized, also provides some discussion of hesitations, and the like, or at the very least a nice introduction to theories of interaction. Best wishes, ~Jenny
Hello,
I have a student interested in theories that explain the use of hesitations, hedges and the like. He has encountered them in his transcriptions and become interested in how to analyze them.
What literature should I point him to? I don't know this area at all.
Thank you.
