Description

The chapter explores the contribution that conversation analysis (CA) makes to our understanding of using discourse to achieve our goals. In this respect it examines the interactions between nurses and patients at various sites of engagement. The idea of an increasing ‘discourse  experience’ raises the question of how persons who engage with the health  community for the first time come to know what these ‘rules’ are, and how they  contribute to the smooth running of the system of the healthcare institution, and  what the unwritten rules are for what is permissible or impermissible in health  discourse.  Considering the complexities of the discourse of the interlocutors and exploring the rule-governed nature of the interactions, the chapter has also analysed the discourse resources.
