The work analyses conversation in the TV series Bones by combining two approaches, conversation analysis and corpus analysis. It examines phenomena from conversation analysis such as turn-taking system or transition-relevance places, and it observes the occurrence of phenomena such as gaps, interruptions, overlaps and repairs with the aim to discover to what extent conversation in Bones is similar to authentic conversation.
