David Silverman is an author known for leading the novice and the expert through the complex underground corpus of Harvey Sacks's work.
'David Silverman is to be thanked for leading the novice and the
expert through the complex, heretofore underground corpus of Harvey
Sacks's work. Finally, the social science community can study and
learn from Sacks's pathbreaking studies of talk and conversational
analysis. The social science community in the field of everyday
life studies owes Silverman a great debt.' Norman K. Denzin,
University of Illinois
'Harvey Sacks, as they say, was an original. David Silverman
provides a thoughtful, lucid account of his penetrating work. I
urge anyone concerned with occurring speech to read this book.
One's sense of how to interpret what is said will be changed. Even
if one does not adopt the approach, one will have an essential
landmark and reference point to inform what one does oneself.' Dell
Hymes, University of Virginia
'David Silverman's book on Harvey Sacks...deals with conversation
analysis and its relation to social sciences. It is designed to
stimulate an interest in the potential of conversation analysis
among those who are not too familiar with the area, and it is
likely to succeed. ... For those who are tired of the rhetoric of
big strategic issues or the latest managerial fad, here is an
opportunity to redirect themselves towards making management
research (or part of it) into a truly observational social science.
Read Silverman's book on Sacks, think, and then read some more!'
Sten Jönsson, Scandinavian Journal of Management
'This book can be used to complement primary materials in
upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses on language use and
conversation analysis. At the time of writing this review, I have
not yet had a chance to use the book in my classes, but
particularly at the undergraduate level, where my use of Sacks's
lectures has met with varied reactions, I anticipate that
Silverman's introduction to the "aesthetic" and "the legacy" may
help overcome some barriers.' Language in Society
