Abstract

This study is a replication of Coates’ study on conversations between women friends, and seeks to test Coates’ findings on topic development and shift in women’s conversations using data on female British Asian friends. Coates’ study (1996, 1998), using data on white women friends, found that in women’s conversations topics are developed jointly and are changed gradually rather than abruptly. Following Coates’ methodology of data collection and data analysis, the study suggests that Coates’ findings hold true also for female British Asian friends.
