Studies in Discourse Analysis (RLE Linguistics B: Grammar)Author(s): Malcolm Coulthard, Martin Montgomery\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138983182, 978-1138983182\nSynopsis\nThe book explores ways in which the formal methods of linguistics can cast light on the structure of verbal interaction, and in particular considers how successive utterances cohere together in continuous spoken discourse.

There are contributions on.
