Stokoe, E., & Laurier, E. (in preparation). Talking relationships. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

 

Speer, S.A., & Stokoe, E. (Eds.) (2011). Conversation and gender. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (ISBN: 978-0-521-69063-6).

 

“Conversation and Gender is the perfect riposte to those who assume that Conversation Analysis cannot account for 'structural' realities. Written by a top flight collection of scholars, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in gender in interaction” (David Silverman, Goldsmiths College and King's College, University of London)

“Conversation and Gender shows us just how much more there is to know - and how interesting and compelling that 'more' is - about the myriad, fertile connections between two of social life's most fundamental social institutions. The book's rich diversity of topics and perspectives, incisive analyses, and clarity of expression make it a 'must have' for scholars and students across the broader fields it so expertly brings together” (Geoffrey Raymond, University of California, Santa Barbara)

 

"This volume will prove to be a useful resource for students and researchers who have been on the lookout for studies devoted to adopting CA as the core methodology in analyzing gender identities. This volume provides much food for thought as well as a plethora of data that may serve as a resource for students in getting hands-on experience in analyzing different types of data dealing with gender" (Journal of Pragmatics, 2011)

 

Benwell, B.M. & Stokoe, E. (2006). Discourse and identity. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press (ISBN: 0748617507).

 

Short-listed for the BAAL 2007 prize: “… a very welcoming focus on practical applications to real data … covers complex territory in an accessible, coherent and illuminating manner …” … “…an extraordinarily ambitious and confident book, in that the coverage is both interdisciplinary and vast, but the two authors do manage to pull this off. I was impressed! …”.

 

“…an indispensable resource … a corrective to theoretical posturing” (Discourse & Society, 2007)

 

“… full of perceptive insights…” (Discourse & Communication, 2007)

 

“… what sets this book apart … is its practical focus on how researchers identify and analyse the process of identity construction” (Gender & Language, 2007)

 

“… Benwell and Stokoe have provided an excellent critical overview of the area of discourse and identity” (Qualitative Research in Psychology, 2007)

 

“ …[an] erudite and engaging book … one of the book's great strengths is its consistent appeal to empirical analysis … their approach … is both eclectic and original” (International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2007)

 

“ *****…this book has saved me hours and hours of work! The range of examples and references that the authors include here is wonderful; but more importantly, their analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each of the theoretical models that they look at has really helped me to make sense of what I was reading elsewhere … Very helpful and I'd recommend it (though I'm not telling anyone about it!) to anyone undertaking narrative research, or research into identity construction” (Amazon.co.uk, 2008)

 

“… Benwell and Stokoe write in a remarkably clear and accessible way … the overview of discourse-based approaches is unique for both its coverage and clarity …” (Journal of Language and Social Psychology, 2008)

 

“ … conspicuously strong on methodology … comprehensive, accessible and insightful … crisply and engagingly written” (Discourse Studies, 2008)

 

“… the authors demonstrate a refreshing breadth and depth of awareness of the way [different] methodologies complement each other, as well as turning an insightful and critical eye on some of the external and internal contradictions” (Media International Australia, 2008)

 

“ … a well researched and comprehensive overview of how to approach identity within different methodological discourse traditions, from micro approaches, such as Conversational Analysis; to macro approaches, such as Critical Discourse Analysis” (Sociolinguistic Studies, 2008)

 

“…an excellent overview of the area of discourse and identity … provide[s] an excellent comparison of the relative strengths and weaknesses of [different] approaches” (Qualitative Research in Psychology, 2010)
