Abstract "This volume brings together linguistics and oral history practitioners to explore the synergies between both disciplines. Contributors from Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and the United States take different perspectives on the relationship between oral history and language. This book exposes readers to commonalities that exist between oral history and linguistics including methodological parallels in constructing and analysing written transcriptions of spoken events, analytical approaches to determining salient themes and linguistic items, relevant theoretical perspectives that frame discourse practices in oral histories and the practical considerations which researchers face when investigating large sets of spoken data"-- provided by publisher.
