| Abstract: | The conversational behaviours of individuals with aphasia are becoming a more important consideration in clinical aphasiology. This is due to the increased focus on conversational dyads and conversational partners via supported conversation for adults with aphasia. This article provides an overview of a well-established analytic framework to investigate conversation in authentic settings. This framework, conversation analysis, is described according to its development and primary principles. Several examples of its application to clinical aphasiology are provided. |
