beszélgetéselemzésben

Beszélgetéselemzés is a qualitative research methodology used to study naturally occurring human interaction, primarily spoken conversation. It originates from ethnomethodology and microsociology, focusing on how people make sense of and accomplish social order through their talk. The core principle of beszélgetéselemzés is that conversation is not a random occurrence but a structured, sequential activity that participants actively create and manage.

Researchers in beszélgetéselemzés meticulously transcribe spoken interactions, often including details about pauses, overlaps, intonation, and other non-verbal cues. These detailed transcripts serve as the primary data for analysis. The analysis itself involves identifying patterns and recurring structures within the talk, such as turn-taking, preference organization (e.g., how agreements are typically handled differently from disagreements), repair mechanisms (how speakers correct misunderstandings or errors), and sequences of actions.

The goal is to understand the underlying social rules and methods that participants use to achieve mutual understanding and coordinate their actions in real-time. Beszélgetéselemzés has been applied in various fields, including sociology, psychology, linguistics, communication studies, and education, to examine topics ranging from doctor-patient interactions to classroom discourse and everyday social encounters. It provides a detailed, empirical account of how social reality is constructed and maintained through linguistic interaction.
