Summary:Norris provides an important contribution to the examination of identity in this book on the theoretical and methodological approach called multimodal interaction analysis. The book moves beyond the traditional discourse analysis focus on spoken language to examine the interplay of broader communicative modes that work together with language use. This longitudinal ethnographic study of two women living in Germany shows how multimodal interaction analysis offers a finer grained holistic analysis of identity construction through context.
