Emotion and Discourse in L2 Narrative Research (Paperback)
This interdisciplinary book examines the interactional management of emotionality in second language autobiographical interview research. Taking a discursive constructionist approach, it weaves together critical discussion and close analysis and offers new insights into emotion, narrative, identity, sociocultural belonging, and reflexive practice.
