Description: This volume brings together a collection of novel, conversation-analytic studies addressing the related concepts of account, motive, accounting, and accountability, with the goal of re-exposing their multiple senses, reiterating their interrelationships and, in doing so, breaking new conceptual ground and exposing pathways for future research.
Review Quotes: "an interesting read on a topic in want of further investigation. It provides very rich theoretical grounding for the study of accountability in interaction, based on various types of interaction, practices, and three different languages." -- Marine Riou, Linguist List
