Detailed observational studies of children's everyday play and social interactions are rare in the social scientific literature. Using an ethnomethodological approach, Talk and Social Interaction in the Playground offers a thorough and fine-grained analysis of the methods and practices used by a group of children to generate and organize a particular game. The book offers rich insight into the interactional resources used by children to produce and make sense of social action, and makes a significant and substantial contribution to the study of talk-in-interaction, and to studies of children's play, competencies, and social interaction.As well as appealing to scholars of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, this book will be of interest to researchers in a wide variety of disciplines, including developmental and social psychology, education, linguistics, sociology and child studies more generally.
