The interview is one of the most important sources of social scientific data yet there has been relatively little exploration of the way interviews are conducted and interpreted. By asking internationally respected scholars from a range of traditions in discourse studies including conversation analysis, discursive psychology, and sociolinguistics to respond to the same material, this exciting new book sheds light on some key differences in methodology and theoretical perspective. Key topics are addressed such as the forms of knowledge produced in interviews, the interview as social interaction and the foundations for the study of talk and texts in qualitative research. The use of interviews exploring attitudes to race further broadens the scope of the book, enabling the contributors to explore sensitive issues around the construction and interpretation of interviews on controversial topics and specifically on issues for race and ethnicity.

Interviews are ubiquitous in modern society, and they play a crucial role in social scientific research. But, as Charles Briggs convincingly argues in this book, received interviewing techniques rest on fundamental misapprehensions about the nature both of the interview as a communicative event, and of the nature of the data that it produces. Furthermore, interviewers rarely examine the compatibility of interviews as a means of acquiring information to one another. These oversights often blind interviewers to ensuing errors of interpretation, as well as to the limitations of the interview as a means of acquiring data. To conflict these problems, Professor Briggs presents an analysis of the 'communicative blunders' that he himself committed in conducting research interviews among Spanish-speakers in northern New Mexico. By focusing on these errors and exploring how they may be avoided, he is able to propose new techniques for designing, implementing, and analyzing interview-based research. These rest on identifying the subjects' resources for conveying information, and the relative compatability of the shared rules and understandings that underlie their strategies with those associated with interviews. Critical of existing paradigms of interviewing, which he sees as deriving from Western 'folk' theories of reality and communication, Briggs shows that the development of more sophisticated interviewing methodologies requires further research into interviewing itself. Briggs's conclusions provide a basis for the reexamination of current uses of interviews in a wide range of contexts - from social science research to job applications, welfare and health care delivery, criminal and legal investigations, journalism and broadcasting, and other areas of everyday life. His book will appeal to linguists, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, psychologists, as well as other readers whose research or professional activities depend on the use of interviews.

Die Untersuchung von Spracheinstellungen zu Mehrsprachigkeit, wie sie etwa in sprachbiographischen Interviews geäußert werden, erfolgt meist über inhaltsanalytische Zugänge. Die vorliegende Arbeit fasst jedoch Spracheinstellungsäußerungen als für den spezifischen Erhebungskontext des Interviews hervorgebrachte Gesprächsbeiträge, die entsprechend gesprächsanalytisch auszuwerten sind (z.B. Bearbeitung der kommunikativen Aufgaben in einem qualitativen Interview, Rezipientenzuschnitt der Gesprächsbeiträge der Interviewten).Die Arbeit widmet sich auf Basis eines Korpus von 14 sprachbiographischen Interviews außerdem der Frage, wie sich die interviewten Deutsch-VietnamesInnen - eine bislang in der Migrationslinguistik vernachlässigte Gruppe - in ihren Spracheinstellungsäußerungen gegenüber der Interviewerin positionieren. Spezifisch wird betrachtet, welche "Sprachräume" die Interviewten als relevant konstruieren und wie sie sich innerhalb dieser Sprachräume als mehrsprachige Individuen verorten.
