Studying Language in Interaction is a holistic practical guide with a hybrid purpose: to emphasize a particular approach to language in the world-a theory of language that has room for communicative repertoire and sociolinguistic diversity-and to provide a practical guide for new researchers of language in interaction.

Betsy Rymes is Professor and Chair of the Educational Linguistics Division at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education. Her previous publications include Communicating Beyond Language (Routledge, 2014), Classroom Discourse Analysis (Routledge, 2016), and How We Talk about Language (2020).
