Bewertungen sprachlichen Handelns und good practice in der Angewandten Gesprächsforschung. Methodische Vorschläge für praxisorientierte Forschung

The article focuses on methodological issues of practice-oriented discourse research and suggests several methodological approaches to assess conversational practice. It makes an argument for the relevance of assessing conversational practice and for why aspects of good practice should be included moresystematically in the analyses by way of considering objectives in the examined practice domains. We provide examples of different institutional fields mostly doctor-patient and lawyer-client interaction) and discuss how actual communicative practices can be assessed with methods of discourse analysis. We thus aim to expand the methodological spectrum of conversation research by including matters of immediate social interest and aspects that are relevant for practitioners.
