This interdisciplinary book explores the interactional construction and management of emotionality in second language autobiographical interview research. By advancing a discursive constructionist approach, it offers a timely methodological and interaction-based perspective that examines how emotionality is collaboratively managed as both topic and resource within the institutional and interpersonal business of qualitative research. The book weaves together discussions based on first and second language literature as well as original research with adult immigrants from Southeast Asia living in the US and Canada. This book will be of interest to those researching second and foreign language studies, applied linguistics and related bilingual and multilingual research, as well as those interested in qualitative research methods and emotion.
