Böcker i Conduct and Communication-serien

This classic volume, by a well-known linguist, constitutes a systematic introduction to sociolinguistics, unmatched in the clarity and forcefulness of its approach, and to the study of language in its social setting.

This book brings together five of Goffman's seminal essays: "Replies and Responses," "Response Cries," "Footing," "The Lecture," and "Radio Talk."

The two essays in this classic work by sociologist Erving Goffman explore the calculative, gamelike aspects of human interaction.
