CONVERSATION ANALYSIS (CA)

CA is also related to Ethnography of Communication, so resources 5


and 8 are especially useful for this second phase.
Do not forget that DA is summative and it means that you have to
consider elements of DA and CDA for the current analysis
See these links to improve your understanding and check some simple

Take into account that for CA you will not only transcribe the words
pronounced by participants but to include certain details about
nonverbal communication which are relevant. You can mix them
according to your needs but clarify in advance the conventions that you
have selected.
Certain notation conventions which could be used are presented below:
