Rezensionen

"Taken as a whole, these 36 chapters are extremely useful as a resource for all students and researchers interested in CA. They offer an excellent inventory of what CA has achieved in the 45 years of its existence. In that sense the Handbookis a clear landmark for CA as a field, reconsidering the past as well as looking into the future." (Discourse Studies, 1 June 2014)

"This magnificent volume is essential reading for specialists and interested non-specialists alike. Above all, it will provide a brilliant teaching resource. With this Handbook, CA has come of age." (The Sociological Review, 21 October 2013)

"However, these minor criticisms aside, the book is a must-have resource for learning, teaching and conducting research in CA, and as such essential reading for both students and academics." (LINGUIST List, 15 July 2013)
