Why people say where they are during mobile phone calls

Auteur :
LAURIER, E.

Description :
The A. uses some singular instances of mobile phone conversations to provide an answer as to why this geolinguistic feature has emerged. In an examination of two real cases and a vignette, some light is shed on a more classical spatial topic, that of mobility. By means of an indifferent approach to the grand theories of culture, some detailed understandings of social practices are offered via the alternatives of ethnomethodological and conversational investigations.
