Hall, G. A. (1998). Promoting synthesis in the analysis of verbal relations. The Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 15, 113-116.
[Abstract]This paper argues that an important direction for the analysis of verbal relations is a synthesis of different specialty areas that study the same behavioral events. It appears that certain benefits may accrue from translating among conceptual frameworks and integrating research findings (where applicable) from the different specialty areas. Such interdependence may yield a more comprehensive view of the overall subject matter and reduce unnecessary duplication of effort by workers in different areas.

Citing Place (1991a) in context (citations start with an asterisk *):
* Another type of synthesis has involved translating work conducted outside the field of behavior analysis into behavioral terms.[...] Place (1991) described points of similarity between conversation analysis in sociology and behavior analysis, and illustrated how terms and concepts from conversation analysis may contribute to a functional account of ongoing verbal relations.
