Annotation
This book focuses on the interplay between the structures of talk in interaction and participation on talk radio and shows how conversation analysis can be employed to explain power as a feature of institutional discourse. Through a case study of a British talk radio show, several key issues in the study of institutional communication and conflict talk are adressed.
