The EMCA Wiki (Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis) hosts research forums, conferences and publications from around the world. The Bibliography is searchable and the most comprehensive resource of all things CA.

This is a beginner’s guide to the key concepts used in conversation analysis research. Each concept is described in lay terms, and is accompanied by three definitions from EMCA scholars. The glossary is a work in progress!

Guides are provided here for transcription conventions used in CA, a workshop designed by Prof. Schegloff and a few key publications on the theoretical implications of how we capture talk-in-interaction on paper.
