Abstract
The biography of a subject rather than a person, this book examines the who, what, when and where of Language and Social Action (LSI) research, primarily as studied within the discipline of Communication. Ideas do not just arise from nowhere, and get accepted because they are seen to be intrinsically valuable. The book describes the people who had the ideas, where they were working when they had them, who they were working with, and how their students carried those ideas beyond the boundaries of a single campus. The experience of learning about LSI, and learning how to do it, is quite different across universities, and within universities the experience was different at various points in time, depending on who was where when. It is the goal of this book to describe the experiences these authors had at these institutions at these specific moments in time. the focus here is on the early history (1960s and 1970s), within Communication, and in the United States.
