This revised edition includes a new preface and an afterword in which Tannen discusses the book's place in the evolution of her work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eConversational Style\u003c\/em\u003e is written in an accessible and non-technical style that should appeal to scholars and students of discourse analysis (in fields like linguistics, anthropology, communication, sociology, and psychology) as well as general readers fascinated by Tannen's popular work. This book is an ideal text for use in introductory classes in linguistics and discourse analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Tannen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195221818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195221817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.64w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 125","brand":"Deborah Tannen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946274554111,"sku":"9780195221817","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_409e0455-86fb-4c89-8834-274b27b039d0.jpg?v=1681512314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversational-style-deborah-tannen-9780195221817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
