ibliography

The starting point for this bibliography was a wish to take a complex systems perspective in applied linguistics research.  In particular, making sense of data on spoken interaction in institutional settings.  However, as there are no existing, or rather, established, ways of applying complex systems theory to the study of spoken interaction (or applied linguistics more generally for that matter), the bibliography has grown to encompass a great number of other fields in the social sciences.  To me the bibliography has turned into an interdisciplinary resource in my ongoing attempt at developing a scientifically based complex systems framework for the analysis of spoken interaction. It is posted here because the interdisciplinary focus of the bibliography may make it a useful resource for others who wish to make sense of real world data from a complex systems (or related) perspective.

A few notes on the compilation of the bibliography:

  • Only publications which are publicly available (through a good library, or on the internet) are included.
  • The symbol * preceeding an entry means that the publication is not (or appears not to be) peer-reviewed.
  • In the THEORETICAL sections, individual papers in edited volumes are NOT listed separately.
  • In the STUDIES sections, individual papers in edited volumes ARE listed seperately.
  • Strictly quantitative applications (e.g., much work in Economics) have generally been left out.
  • Work which involves modeling and/or simulation has NOT been included.  Such work does not fit into the herein espoused definition of Real World Research.
