Media Reviews
This latest book by Erickson addresses an issue that is very timely and topical ... the puzzle it seeks to crack is one that has long haunted researchers in social sciences and related areas. Journal of Sociolinguistics I cannot think of another social science scholar who has done more to move qualitative research and methodology in creative directions!among the most important contributions to social theory in recent years. Regina Smardon, University of Pennsylvania Frederick Erickson is someone who illuminates details of talk and interaction. More than that, he illuminates where we stand in making sense of human life in terms of social theory. This is a book not to be missed. Dell Hymes, University of Virginia
