Discourse and interaction in the upper Amazon

Más información sobre el libro

The book focuses on and tracks the relationship and the quality of discourse that evolve between interviewer and interviewee within a series of interview situations. It presents theoretical arguments and empirical findings based on twenty-five face-to-face conversations with a freshwater fish wholesaler in the northeastern Peruvian rainforest town of Iquitos. Supplemented by the interview transcripts in Spanish, it is a valuable methodological source for sociologists, anthropologists, linguists, economists and historians who are interested in interdisciplinary qualitative research.
