Wikipedia description:

Harvey Sacks (July 19, 1935 – November 14, 1975) was an American sociologist influenced by the ethnomethodology tradition. He pioneered extremely detailed studies of the way people use language in everyday life. Despite his early death in a car crash and the fact that he did not publish widely, he is recognized as the founder of conversation analysis. His work has had significant influence on fields such as linguistics, discourse analysis, and discursive psychology.
