Traces the persecution and exclusion of Jews in Dordogne (southwestern France) in 1939-44. Home to only a few Jewish families before 1939, the situation changed with the arrival of a large part of Strasbourg's 9,000 Jews who were evacuated to the region. Describes the activities of a number of Jewish welfare and rescue organizations set up in Périgueux after June 1940. According to the Nazi census of June 1941, over 6,000 Jews lived in the region; by March 1943 their number had grown to 7,441. Ca. 16% of these Jews were deported or executed. Pp. 277-502 contain lists of names and biographical information about the Jews who were taken for work in the Groupement de Travailleurs Étrangers, interned in camps or prisons, deported or executed in the Dordogne.

In this volume leading academics in Interactional Linguistics and Conversation Analysis consider the notion of units for the study of language and interaction. Amongst the issues being explored are the role and relevance of traditionally accepted linguistic units for the analysis of naturally occurring talk, and the identification of new units of conduct in interaction. While some chapters make suggestions on how existing linguistic units can be adapted to suit the study of conversation, others present radically new perspectives on how language in interaction should be described, conceptualised and researched. The chapters present empirical investigations into different languages (Danish, English, Japanese, Mandarin, Swedish) in a variety of settings (private and institutional), considering both linguistic and embodied resources for talk. In addressing the fundamental question of units, the volume pushes at the boundaries of current debates and contributes original new insight into the nature of language in interaction.
