Is your conversation actually a systematic and organized science?
In short: Elizabeth Stokoe explores how conversation analysis reveals the hidden structure in our daily talk. From police interviews to first dates, learn how small verbal shifts can nudge others toward specific actions.
Professor Elizabeth Stokoe of Loughborough University demonstrates that human interaction is not messy or disorderly, but is instead organized systematically. By applying conversation analysis, she shows how small variations in speech can impact what others say and do next, much like the mechanisms found in nudge theory.
Her research provides a scientific framework for understanding talk as it unfolds in both mundane and dramatic settings. This method is used to underpin communication training for professionals—including doctors, police, and mediators—offering a research-based alternative to traditional role-play and simulation through her 'Conversation Analytic Role-play Method'.
