Annotation
The third and last section concentrates on “methodological debates”. The section is mainly focused on the debate about context and method between conversation and discourse analysis (Silverman, Hak) Generally, linguistic analyses of the workplace are praised for their fine-grained level of detail but rebuked for their ethnographic shortcomings.
