Talking Voices: Repetition, Dialogue, and Imagery in Conversational Discourse Hardcover - 2007 - 2nd Edition
by Deborah Tannen
First line
The central idea of this book is that ordinary conversation is made up of linguistic strategies that have been thought quintessentially literary.
From the rear cover
Talking Voices is a radical contribution to both linguistic and literary analysis. In this important new book Deborah Tannen shows how conversation provides the source for linguistic strategies that are shaped and elaborated in literary discourse and other spoken and written, public and private genres. She explores the scenic and musical basis of both textual meaning and interpersonal involvement in discourse. Repetition establisher rhythm and meaning by patterns of constants and contrasts. Dialogue and imagery create scenes peopled by characters in relation to each other, doing things that are culturally and personally recognizable and meaningful.
