|Short summary=CfP NCA 26 - High Density Paper panel Death & Dying in Interaction (LSI Division). Any topics around death and dying in interaction welcome! Please see full call for contact information! #Death #Dying #Natcom #NCA26
|Announcement text=Overall Description
Death and dying are at the center of contemporary biomedical and cultural social move/ments that emphasize dignity at end of life. LSI research has long addressed various aspects within death and dying. In this panel, we apply LSI methodologies to the death and dying process to show the social and discursive construction of distinct cultural and social move/ments.

Paper Session Rationale
Death and the dying process are important, but under-examined social processes. Since the 1960s, death-and-dying social move/ments have occupied a range of positions from within biomedicine as well as located outside of biomedical organization around ethical, relational, and spiritual communities of practice. For example, while the hospice movement was started in the early 1960s, hospice was expanded and institutionalized within hospitals and biomedical practice in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Similarly, palliative care, advance care planning, and medical aid in dying are similarly rooted in biomedical institutions authorized in professional medical authority, even when these move/ments critique biomedicine from the inside. However, other social movements located outside of the biomedical sphere are organized around ethical, relational, and spiritual communities. Dying at home was common before the pre-20th century when death was institutionalized as a primarily medical problem. Other movements including the “good death” movement, death doulas or end-of-life companions, and green burial or the eco-death move/ments are all located outside of the biomedical realm.

Language and Social Interaction (LSI) research has a long history with death and dying. David Sudnow’s classic ethnomethodological study Passing On: The Social Organization of Dying (1967) documented inequalities in the process of dying. Observing health care staff, Sudnow argued that resuscitation efforts were given based on the perceived value of the patient’s social status where perceived lower status individuals were likely to have less aggressive resuscitation than perceived higher status individuals. Later, Harvey Sacks’ and Harold Garfinkel’s work at the Center for the Scientific Study of Suicide (1963-1964) culminated in early Conversation Analytic research on suicide hotlines (Sacks, 1995). Specific insights from these calls ultimately revealed more general organizations of how telephone calls worked in social interaction. More recently, LSI scholars have maintained interest in death and dying. Kitzinger & Kitzinger (2014) explored the experiences of caregivers of family members in a permanent ‘vegetative state’. The caregivers describe this as an in-between, liminal state where the family member is not medically deceased but is not able to socially interact and shows how those caregivers understand the condition and their relationship with their family member. The work explores the grief accompanied through the process of caregiving for someone who is “present but absent” (p. 240). Kevoe-Feldman (2019) offered a review of how emergency calls were conducted over the prior 30 years focusing on how institutional roles are established and done in these calls, many dealing with suicidality and life-threatening emergencies. Land and Pino (2025) found that patients in hospice care made allusions to End of Life during consultations not explicitly focused on that aspect of care and healthcare providers had an opportunity in those moments to stepwise discuss death and dying in their consultations. Tate (2022) found that despite policy changes after the Affordable Care Act was instituted, doctors were still hesitant to have discussions about transitioning stage IV cancer patients into hospice and palliative care, showing that physicians orient to the treatment imperative. In her paper, Autoethnographic conversations with my dying sister, Carolyn Ellis (2024) gives readers an intimate look into her relationship with her sister throughout her sister’s end of life care, showing “[…] how terminally ill people and the caregivers who love them might think about and do the last stages of life” (p.367).

Building on this trajectory, this panel seeks to extend LSI investigation into death and dying as socially constructed discursive process. This includes but is not limited to Conversation Analysis, Ethnomethodology, Discourse Analysis, Rhetoric, Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, Ethnography, and Auto-Ethnography. We are especially interested in research that does not primarily occur in a medical setting, but we do welcome papers in the biomedical domain.

|Abstract=Affect refers to the public display of emotions and feelings. Affect displays occur in various ways, including response cries (Goffman 1978, 1981), laughter/crying, lexical choice, vocal intonation and prosody, timing and embodied actions performed in the production of utterances and other actions (cf. Hepburn 2004; Hepburn and Potter 2007; Potter and Hepburn 2010; Ruusuvuori 2007). Using CA, close examination of a telephone call reveals that affect marks differences in expectancies between interlocutors as problematic. When expectancies arise as problematic, participants work to (a) identify what misalignments may exist between participants’ expectancies, (b) assess the severity of the misalignment(s), (c) assign accountability and responsibility for the “consequent event” (Pomerantz 1978: 119) that serves as evidence of the misalignment, and (d) work to establish an alternative set of aligned expectancies. We suggest that affect displays are one way of explicitly foregrounding misalignments regarding the moral organization of participation in social interaction.

|Announcement text=The Centre for Advanced Studies in Language & Communication (CASLC) at the University of York is delighted to present a talk by Dr. Heidi Kevoe-Feldman (Northeastern University), entitled, The arc of the emergency call:
Finding human-agency and actions that shape police outcomes.

Abstract
The emergency call is the first step in a larger process of requesting and sending help. That is, the caller’s request ends with a promise of fulfilment, projecting additional steps beyond the initial emergency call. In this talk, I open the domain of emergency call research by considering the next two steps in request fulfilment, dispatching first responders to the emergency, and the officer’s report back to the agency which concludes the activity. Through a series of projects using conversation analysis, I show how interactions between emergency dispatchers (9-1-1) and their callers shape police action in the field, and how findings are incorporated into training, policy making, and improving communication between call takers and first-responders.

Speaker biography
Heidi Kevoe-Feldman, EMD is an Associate Professor in the Communication Studies Department at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Her research focuses on language and interaction practices in emergency communication settings, specifically examining low-frequency, high-impact calls involving mental health callers and emergency medical cases. She focuses on how call takers manage interactional problems such as caller resistance, emotional outbursts, and unexpected medical emergencies that block or delay the timely provision of service. Her research forms the basis of evidence-based training that contributes to policy change on caller management practices and enhanced quality assurance for emergency communication management. Dr. Feldman regularly shadows dispatchers in the call centers, and received her certification as a telecommunicator, emergency medical dispatcher, and crisis negotiator for telecommunicators.

|Announcement text='''NCRM Annual Lecture 2023'''

The NCRM Annual Lecture 2023 will be held on Tuesday, 25 April. This prestigious event will bring together researchers from across the UK to discuss some of the latest innovations in research methods and network with colleagues from different sectors and disciplines.

Our keynote speaker for the evening will be Professor Elizabeth Stokoe of the London School of Economics and Political Science. She will be joined by our discussant, Dr Jon Sutton, editor of The Psychologist magazine.

The event will take place in the magnificent surroundings of the Royal Society in central London. It will also be streamed online.

'''The lecture'''

In her presentation, Professor Stokoe will discuss the power of conversation analysis to reveal both effective and problematic communication practices in a variety of contexts.

Her talk, A Method in Search of a Problem: The Power of Conversation Analysis, will show how conversation analysis can be used to identify, describe and share effective communication practices, as well as challenge common communication myths and expose inequalities.

Professor Stokoe will use research findings and examples from real conversations to illustrate issues in settings including healthcare, dating, sales encounters, crisis negotiation and AI interaction.

She will argue that conversation analytic research exposes the workings of real-life inequalities and exclusion, and the otherwise hidden reality of the good – as well as the damage – that turns at talking can do. The full abstract for the lecture and more details about Professor Stokoe are available below.

'''Registration'''

The lecture is free to attend, but registration is required for both in-person and online attendance.

'''Lecture abstract: A Method in Search of a Problem: The Power of Conversation Analysis'''

In this lecture, I will explore the power of conversation analysis to reveal ethical, moral, and otherwise problematic communication practices that have personal, legal and societal consequences for those involved. Such practices would otherwise be unknown, imagined incorrectly, unevidenced, disattended or remain obscured, since the world of social interaction is largely investigated using simulation, experimental methods, post-hoc surveys or interviews.

While conversation analysis is sometimes regarded as the soggiest of ‘soft’ qualitative research methods, I will show that its research findings not only challenge common communication myths but can reveal fundamental problems with both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ research data themselves. Using real conversations from settings such as dating, healthcare, sales encounters, crisis negotiation and conversational AI, I will explore all these issues and more.

I will argue that conversation analytic research exposes the workings of real-life inequalities and exclusion, and the otherwise hidden reality of the good – as well as the damage – that turns at talking can do.

'''About the speaker'''

Elizabeth Stokoe is a Professor in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), having joined in January 2023 after 20 years at Loughborough University. She conducts conversation analytic research to understand how talk works – from first dates to medical communication, and from sales encounters to crisis negotiation.

She has worked as an industry fellow at SaaS companies Typeform and Deployed. In addition to academic publishing, she is passionate about science communication, and has given talks at TED, Google, Microsoft and The Royal Institution, and performed at Latitude Festival and Cheltenham Science Festival.

Her books include Talk: The Science of Conversation (Little, Brown, 2018) and Crisis Talk (Routledge, 2022, co-authored with Rein Ove Sikveland and Heidi Kevoe-Feldman). Her research and biography were featured on BBC Radio 4’s The Life Scientific.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, she participated in a behavioural science sub-group of the UK Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and is a member of the Independent SAGE behaviour group. She is a Wired Innovation Fellow and in 2021 was awarded Honorary Fellowship of the British Psychological Society. Read more on the LSE website. Professor Stokoe is also a member of NCRM’s independent advisory board.

'''Special issue overview'''

This special issue focuses on the role(s) that companions play in institutional interactions. Companions are interactants who support another to communicate, to complete a task or otherwise achieve a social or interactional goal that may typically be set up as a dyadic interaction (doctor – patient, teacher – pupil; etc). Companions can be relatives, friends or professional assistants to a person in need of support.

Some people need help to communicate with others due to their young age or challenges of various kinds, physical as well as cognitive. Assistance is likely to be especially needed in institutional interactions. In such situations, a companion might help the individual understand what is going on, and help them express their needs and wishes. But as yet, research is limited on the role companions play in these settings, the interactional resources companions use to enact their role, and what may facilitate or impede interactions between the person they support and the institutional interlocutor.

In order to shed further light on this important issue, this special issue will bring together research focusing on interaction involving people with communication support needs and their companions. The aim of the special issue is to contribute to the knowledge about the role(s) companions play in institutional interactions, and further our understanding on how the role(s) is talked into being and emerges in the interaction itself.

This special issue is seeking submissions which fall within these parameters. The submitted manuscripts for this special collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.

Please submit your manuscript to niklas.noren@edu.uu.se according to the following timetable for this Special Collection.

|Announcement text=Dear friends and colleagues,

JAM is back! Having skipped the meeting in 2021 due to the pandemic, it is our great pleasure to now finally invite you to attend the 9th bi-annual Joint Action Meeting (JAM) in Budapest next summer (July 10-12, 2023). As always, JAM aims to bring together cognitive scientists and researchers from related disciplines studying individuals’ ability to act together. Human life is full of joint actions, ranging from a handshake to the performance of a symphony. We are highly skilled at coordinating our actions with those of others to reach common goals, and we rely on this ability throughout our daily lives. What are the cognitive and neural processes underlying this ability? How does joint action develop? How do language and gesture support and emerge from joint action? What are the basic principles needed to build robotic systems that can interact with humans? What differentiates joint action from individual action, both conceptually and in terms of experience? The scientific program will comprise oral presentations and posters addressing these and related questions.

'''SUBMISSIONS'''

We invite submissions for talks (15 minutes + 5 minutes discussion) or posters on joint action. The abstract should be no longer than 200 words. Deadline for submission is February 28th, 2023. The abstract title should clearly define the work discussed. Abstracts reporting empirical studies must contain the specific goals of the study, the methods used, a summary of the results, and a conclusion. For theoretical work, the abstract should contain the specific goals and clear conclusions. Please note that although we do encourage submissions from a broad range of topics and perspectives, we will only be able to accept contributions that directly inform our understanding of joint action. We will do our best to accommodate your preference for talk/poster but given the tight schedule we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your preference.

'''Description'''

Autistic Intelligence, Social Interaction, and the Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Doug Maynard is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. He researches social interaction from the perspective of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. He has studied interaction in many settings—everyday life, legal arenas, clinical settings, and others, publishing in a variety of sociological, legal, and medical journals. He is co-author of Autistic Intelligence: Interaction, Individuality, and the Challenges of Diagnosis (University of Chicago Press, 2022).

This talk reports on recorded observations of the process of diagnosing autism and communicating diagnostic findings to family members. It will explore how the diagnostic process can go beyond just sorting out who fits the diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to discover and highlight the unique contributions autistic people make to the world around us.

'''Employment Information'''

'''Employment:''' Temporary employment, 2 years

'''Scope:''' Full time

'''Closing date for application:''' 2023-03-31

'''Campus location:''' Västeras

'''School:''' School of Education, Culture and Communication, (UKK)

'''Position description'''

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow who will join the Mälardalen INteraction and Didactics (MIND) Research group as part of the project “Fostering student participation in classrooms: Digitally-enhanced teacher reflection and feedback in education”. The post-doctoral researcher will focus on the interactional aspects of classroom participation and engagement, and explore- from micro-analytic, multimodal, and reflective perspectives- the ways digital tools encourage transformative reflections.

The researcher is expected to be involved in collection and analysis of audio-visual data from classroom settings, while also attending and taking active part in organizing regular activities of the research group, including data sessions, research seminars, and workshops.

The researcher will be expected to (1) transcribe and analyse pedagogical interaction data using (multimodal) conversation analysis, (2) annotate audio-visual data from reflection sessions, and (3) carry out thematic/content analysis of stimulated recall data and interviews. The post-doctoral researcher will be expected to work with the research group members in reporting research findings in international peer-reviewed publications and collaborate with the members of the group in disseminating research findings (e.g. presenting in and organizing research conferences/symposia as well as events for teachers).

The position is a temporary employment of 2-3 years.

'''Qualifications requirements'''

The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in educational sciences, applied language studies (e.g., applied linguistics, educational linguistics, (second) language education, TESOL) or related fields, with a focus on interactional aspects of learning and teaching, or discursive practices in institutional interaction in its broad sense. The applicant is also expected to be very proficient in English language, both in speech and writing. The applicant must have completed the degree no more than three years before the end of the application period.

The candidate should be able to demonstrate skills and expertise in using discursive methodologies, preferably (multimodal) conversation analysis, for analyzing interactions where learning is mediated, including, but not limited to, classrooms. The researcher should have in-depth knowledge and experience in the analysis of discursive data, demonstrated through published work and other academic activities. Experience in publishing research in international journals will be important in the decision. Personal qualities required include willingness to collaborate and (demonstrated) skills in collaboration; good communication skills; and the ability to take research initiatives and work independently.

Decisive importance is attached to personal suitability. We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organisation.

'''Description'''

Autistic Intelligence, Social Interaction, and the Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Doug Maynard is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. He researches social interaction from the perspective of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. He has studied interaction in many settings—everyday life, legal arenas, clinical settings, and others, publishing in a variety of sociological, legal, and medical journals. He is co-author of Autistic Intelligence: Interaction, Individuality, and the Challenges of Diagnosis (University of Chicago Press, 2022).

This talk reports on recorded observations of the process of diagnosing autism and communicating diagnostic findings to family members. It will explore how the diagnostic process can go beyond just sorting out who fits the diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to discover and highlight the unique contributions autistic people make to the world around us.

GeSpIn is an interdisciplinary event for researchers working on the interaction between speech and visual communicative signals, such as articulatory, manual, and bodily gestures co-occurring with speech. At GeSpIn 2023 we hope to bring together researchers working on visual signals together with vocalization or speech, from multidisciplinary perspectives in order to exchange ideas and present the cutting edge of their field. This 8th edition of GeSpIn will be held in Nijmegen, the Netherlands and will focus on the theme of “Broadening Perspectives, Integrating Views: Towards General Principles of Multimodal Signaling Systems”.

As such, we encourage researchers working on (multimodal) prosody, social anthropology, philosophy, (psycho)linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, human movement science, computer science (e.g., human-computer interaction), comparative biology, and more to submit their research to address topics such as:

- Do principles of speech-gesture interaction generalize to, or interact with, other multimodal interactions and forms of audiovisual integration (e.g., speech interacting with head gestures or facial signals)?

- What methods in computer science can be used to characterize and synthesize the (temporal) interactions between speech and gesture, within and between agents?

- How is speech-gesture coupling influenced by the immediate dialogic context (e.g., behavior of the interlocutor, or speech act being performed)

- Can multimodal signaling as studied in non-human animals teach us something fundamental about multimodal communication systems that also applies to humans?

- What can cross-linguistic comparisons of speech-gesture interaction teach us about the underlying principles of multimodal coordination?

- Development of gesture-speech coordination: Can general principles of development be identified? Are there sensitive periods and developmental stages?

- What is the role of basic biomechanical or neural processes in visual and auditory signaling and the perception of said multimodal signals?

Please note that all researchers and theoreticians/philosophers working on the interaction between gesture/visual and sound-producing cues (e.g., in terms of pragmatics, prosody, semantics) should feel invited, also if their particular study does not fit these topics exactly.

|Announcement text='''10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference: 3rd Call for Papers'''

The Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim is pleased to announce the 10th

International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10). The conference will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to 21 July 2023.

The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing languages, to foster the development of an international community, to discuss the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield has had a checkered history, but comparative and contrastive work has always been and continues to be an important part of linguistic research. New impulses for comparative and contrastive work include the increasing availability of multilingual corpora or comparative work drawing on naturalistic interaction data. At this anniversary edition of ICLC, we want to provide a stage for the presentation of such new work, and reflect the past, current and future developments of contrastive research in linguistics.

We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following:

· Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics from any area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics as well as matters such as register and socio-cultural context

· The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic research

· The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research

· The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as historical, typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics

· The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied linguistics such as foreign language teaching and learning, translation studies and corpus linguistics

· Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to contrastive analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional, generative, constructional approaches)

· Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability, incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis, language universals)

· Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel / translation corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal corpora, naturalistic data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and neurolinguistic experiments, surveys)

· The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic generalizations and the development of linguistic theory on the other hand

Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers. Confirmed keynote speakers are:

· Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics, Germany)

· Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands)

· Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven, Belgium)

· Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Germany)

· Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway)

The conference will include a poster session. The conference language will be English.

Following the conference, all participants will be offered the possibility to submit their contribution for publication in a volume of selected conference papers.

|Announcement text='''Communication in Medical and Healthcare Interactions (Monday 27 - Wednesday 29 March 2023)'''

The course will take place at the University of York campus on Monday 27 - Wednesday 29 March 2023.

The course will include lectures on a range of integrated topics, directed exercises, as well as practical hands-on sessions giving participants experience in analysing data, using the perspective and methods of Conversation Analysis (CA).

Practical sessions will be focused on applying CA’s methodology, not only in the detailed analysis of particular medical/health care interactions but also in working on collections of significant patterns to be found in medical interactions.

The data used throughout will be real-life, authentic medical interactions – based on the considerable experience each of us has had working in a range of diverse medical settings (these include primary care, oncology, neurology, seizure clinics, memory clinics, maternity units, medical helplines).

Our research has focused on aspects of the effectiveness of communication, on patient-centered medicine and patient choice and the role of communication in diagnosis. We will draw on our own datasets and research findings across the practical elements of this workshop.

Our aim is to assist participants in developing research skills, through enhancing their understanding of CA’s methodology, and their ability to apply CA in their investigations of medical interactions.

'''Abstract'''

Misgendering refers to a set of practices through which people are miscategorised in terms of their gender. Whilst this can happen to anybody, being misgendered has profoundly negative and exclusionary outcomes for people whose gender self-designations do not align to the ‘sex’ assigned to them at birth (including transgender and non-binary people). Previous research carried out on textual media (Ansara & Hegarty, 2013; Capuzza, 2015; Gupta, 2019; Ingram, 2019) showed how practices of misgendering embody and reproduce several cisgenderist assumptions—cisgenderism being “the ideology that delegitimises people’s own designations of their genders and bodies” (Ansara & Hegarty, 2014, p. 260).

Our research aims to advance understandings in this area by investigating misgendering in social interaction. We examine a collection of instances of misgendering from openly accessible video sharing platforms and podcasts featuring different types of interaction (for the most part, broadcast interviews and debates, and interactions in public spaces). Drawing upon ethnomethodology, we consider misgendering as a breaching moment in which otherwise smooth and unnoticed practices of gender attribution fail or are subject to contestation. We then focus on participants’ orientations to the accountability of those breaches. By analysing participants’ accounts, we hope to gain access to publicly displayed understandings of the bases of misgendering. These bases are the normative considerations that participants invoke to account for, and normalise, the gender (mis)attribution that a misgendering embodies. We show that these accounts embody normative understandings of gender grounded in two sets of assumptions: the mapping of gender onto cues associated with external appearance; and the mapping of present gender designations onto former gender designations. We further draw on feminist conversation analysis to investigate not only what participants say, but also what they appear to omit from their accounts, thus tacitly reproducing taken for granted assumptions about gender. In these ways, we hope to contribute to understandings of how gender is reproduced in social interaction.

|Announcement text='''Communication in Medical and Healthcare Interactions (Monday 27 - Wednesday 29 March 2023)'''

The course will take place at the University of York campus on Monday 27 - Wednesday 29 March 2023.

The course will include lectures on a range of integrated topics, directed exercises, as well as practical hands-on sessions giving participants experience in analysing data, using the perspective and methods of Conversation Analysis (CA).

Practical sessions will be focused on applying CA’s methodology, not only in the detailed analysis of particular medical/health care interactions but also in working on collections of significant patterns to be found in medical interactions.

The data used throughout will be real-life, authentic medical interactions – based on the considerable experience each of us has had working in a range of diverse medical settings (these include primary care, oncology, neurology, seizure clinics, memory clinics, maternity units, medical helplines).

Our research has focused on aspects of the effectiveness of communication, on patient-centered medicine and patient choice and the role of communication in diagnosis. We will draw on our own datasets and research findings across the practical elements of this workshop.

Our aim is to assist participants in developing research skills, through enhancing their understanding of CA’s methodology, and their ability to apply CA in their investigations of medical interactions.

'''Registration'''

The cost for this three-day course is:

Standard rate:

£550
Early bird £495 - book before the 16 December 2022 - use promo code CMHI10
Postgraduate rate:

Paul Drew, is a Professor in the Department of Language and Linguistic Science, has considerable experience of teaching CA at introductory and advanced levels, both in conventional courses and through workshops, worldwide. His recent research in medical communication includes projects on the delivery of NHS’s IAPT programme of psychological therapy, conversations between doctors and parents in neonatal critical care, and the language used in (US) medical records.

Clare Jackson is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology. Her research covers both basic CA – particularly practices for referring to persons – and applied CA – particularly feminist issues and healthcare. She is currently working on an NIHR funded project examining decisional practices between women, birth partners and practitioners in midwife-led intrapartum care.

Danielle Jones is an Associate Professor in the Centre for Applied Dementia Studies at the University of Bradford. Her research includes projects on everyday family interactions involving a person living with dementia as well as medical communication, during the assessment and diagnosis of dementia. She uses conversation analytic methods and findings to teach health and social care professionals how to enhance their dementia care practice.

Merran Toerien is a Reader in the Department of Sociology. She has expertise in the application of conversation analysis to communication in institutional settings, with a particular interest in patient choice. She has extensive experience of teaching CA at undergraduate and graduate levels, and has run workshops in South Africa, Brazil, China, the Netherlands and the UK.

'''Phonetics of Talk-in-Interaction (Wednesday 22 - Friday 24 March 2023)'''

The course will take place online on Wednesday 22 - Friday 24 March 2023. The course will run from 9am to 4.30pm BST (GMT+1) each day, and the daily synchronous online sessions will take place from 10.30am to 12noon and 1pm to 4.30pm BST (GMT+1).

Participants will learn some of the basic linguistic terminology of phonetic/prosodic description including phrasing, accentuation, articulatory setting and intonation to be able to describe conversational speech in more technical terms. Participants will learn how to provide suitable evidence (such as pictures in Praat, and phonetic transcription) to illustrate some phonetic/prosodic phenomena. There will be overviews of linguistic phenomena and a chance to apply these to an interactional phenomenon in data sessions.

The course will offer mini-lectures, skills demonstrations, ear-training and transcription sessions, data sessions, and short assignments to be completed in groups.

The course will be limited to 20 participants so that we can work intensively to develop basic skills in data analysis and to understand the core topics to be covered.

'''Abstract'''

This talk presents conversation analytic research into a collection of extracts where participants produce negative formulations of their affective stances. Explicit negative assessments of emotional state are rare in the wider corpus of ordinary talk, and evidence suggests they may be in interaction more generally. According to Ruusuvuori, (2013: 330), "Although all talk is affective to some extent, emotion is seldom the central focus of the ongoing activity".

Analysis of these actions reveals commonalities in terms of:

1. their design - for example, as well as including negative assessments of the speaker's state such as "miserable" and "despondent", they also include mitigating components such as "a bit", sometimes", and laughter

2. the sequence to which they contribute - they occur at points of possible transition to a new matter, or closing, and are followed by talk that pursues the matter raised in the formulation of state, but in pragmatic terms rather than addressing the emotion itself.

Thus, I show how brief, multi-faceted references to negative emotional states evoke troubles, while at the same time doing some "troubles-resistance" (Jefferson, 2015), at moments of transition.

Special Issue: Social Media and Sport Communication: Reflections & Opportunities Publication

Issue: 16(3)—September 2023

Guest Editors: Gashaw Abeza, Towson University, and Jimmy Sanderson, Texas Tech University

Submission deadline: January 15, 2023
==============================================

In 2012, the International Journal of Sport Communication published a special issue on Twitter and its influence on sport communication/media. At that time, Twitter and other social media platforms were arguably quite nascent in sport, and in the ensuing decade, social media platforms have grown exponentially and become standard operating procedure for sport organizations, athletes, sport media personnel, and sport fans, among others.

Additionally, in 2018, another special issue of IJSC was published that examined contemporary issues with social media in sport. As social media has grown and become normalized across diverse sport contexts, it continues to exert considerable force, both positive and negative, for a variety of sport stakeholders. The past decade also has seen a rise in social media and sport scholarship. Accordingly, the aim of this special issue is to provide a holistic overview on where sport and social media research has been (reflections) and where it may be headed in the future. Specifically, what has social media and sport scholarship contributed in the past decade+, and what are the implications for sport and social media in coming years?

For this special issue on social media, we also welcome papers that examine gaming and virtual-reality platforms. Topics may include, but are not limited to,

• The role/influence of social media in sport media

• The impact of social media in sport marketing

• The impact of social media in organizational decision making (e.g., policy and training)

• The impact/influence of specific social media platforms on specific sport stakeholders

• The impact/influence of gaming platforms (e.g., Twitch) or virtual-reality platforms

• How various sport stakeholders experience/use social media

• Social media discourse at the intersection of sport and politics/nationalism

• Social media discourse at the intersection of sport and gender/sexuality/race

• Social media as a form of surveillance in sport

• The commodification of social media in sport

• Social media and sport research methods

This special issue encourages submissions from a variety of methodological approaches and frameworks. We welcome both empirical studies that analyze data and scholarly commentaries related to the call. We also encourage submissions such as case studies, student research, and industry interviews.

We wish to attract scholars from diverse fields and backgrounds. Our overall aim is to position sport and social media scholarship and to help advance future work.

'''Deadline for submissions:''' January 15, 2023

'''Publication Issue:''' Volume 16, Issue 3— September 2023

Submissions can be to any of the following sections of the journal: scholarly commentaries, student (with advisor) research articles, full research articles, and case studies.

Please reach out to Drs. Gashaw Abeza and Jimmy Sanderson—the guest editors of this special issue—at gabeza@towson.edu and jimmy.sanderson@ttu.edu with any questions regarding the issue.

To submit a manuscript, however, please go through the regular submission steps found at the IJSC website (please see link below). In the cover letter to the IJSC editor (Paul M. Pedersen, Ph.D., Indiana University), simply note that the submission is for the Social Media and Sport Communication special issue.

MACHINE LEARNING FOR (LANGUAGE-INVOLVING) HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION

Adaptive Systems Research Group

Centre for Computer Science and Informatics Research

School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science

University of Hertfordshire, UK

Contact: Frank Foerster (f.foerster@herts.ac.uk)

============

Short-listings will start on 1st October 2022 *

Bursary £15,609 p.a.

* application before this date is strongly encouraged

We invite applications for a PhD studentship at the University of
Hertfordshire, UK, under the supervision of Dr. Frank Foerster in
the area of machine learning for human-robot interaction. We are particularly
interested in pursuing research that connects to the following two topics, but
alternative ideas will be considered too.

'''Research Topics'''

Topic 1: Socially driven Machine Learning in Robotic Language
Acquisition

Topic 2: Repair Mechanisms in (speech-involving) Human-Robot Interaction

More information including relevant papers are provided in the
following PDF: https://bit.ly/3QsM4vQ

Independent of the particular topic, we have recently become
member of the HomeBank corpora, and would strongly encourage
interaction and collaboration with developmental psychologists, psycholinguists, or conversation analysts.

'''Person Profile'''

You will have an excellent first degree and a very keen interest
and motivation in human-machine interaction in general and/or
language acquisition or robotic speech interfaces in particular. Optimally you should have
an excellent background in Computer Science, Computational/Cognitive Robotics, (computational) linguistics, artificial intelligence, or similar disciplines with a considerable
quantitative/computational component.

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the topic we will also
consider applicants with a background in (developmental)
psychology, philosophy, or pragmatics as long as you have
some experience in programming, machine learning, or dialogue
systems.

Prior experience with topics such as reinforcement learning,
or statistical learning more generally is highly desirable, but
not essential if the quantitative background is otherwise
very strong. The knowledge of later Wittgenstein is a big plus.

If you have questions, have alternative suggestions for a related,
but distinct topic, and/or are generally interested in applying,
please contact:

|Announcement text=Let's Talk About Weight: Pregnancy

Supervisors: Dr Nerys Astbury; Dr Charlotte Albury

Starting pregnancy carrying excess weight and gaining too much weight during pregnancy are acknowledged as some of the most important current women’s health issues by scientists and clinicians.

Antenatal care, delivered by healthcare professionals to people during pregnancy aims to protect the health of the mother and child. But these settings can also be a context where patients can experience weight stigma – bias or discrimination based on one’s weight.

The current clinical guidelines for addressing excess weight in pregnancy in antenatal care recommend that HCPs explain to pregnant people with obesity how being overweight poses a risk, both to their health and the health of the unborn child, offer a referral for assessment and personalised advice on healthy eating and how to be physically active in pregnancy and encourage them to lose weight after pregnancy. But there is no guidance on how they should communicate these recommendations.

This project will use conversation analysis techniques to identify examples of good practice around addressing weight during pregnancy and utilise various qualitative research methods (in-depth interviews and focus groups) to explore the dynamics between the priorities of healthcare professionals and pregnant people in relation to speaking about weight during pregnancy.

The aim of the project is to bring together the findings to develop a training module on how healthcare professionals should speak about weight to people during pregnancy in a manner to minimise stigma and discrimination and maximise motivation to change behaviour which will help attenuate gestational weight gain or achieve weight loss postpartum.

This project will suit students with interest in women’s health and obesity from a range of backgrounds including, nursing midwifery, psychology, and the social sciences.

|Short summary=Call for Panel Contribution at IPrA '23 in Brussels. This is a panel that aims to provide a chance for participants to discuss integration of CA with other Linguistic methods https://bit.ly/3RglaYR #EMCA #LSI
|Announcement text=This session is a panel at the 18th International Pragmatics Conference that aims to provide a chance for discussing integration of conversation analysis (CA), a central method used in Interactional Linguistics, and other methods for describing and explaining linguistic phenomena in talk-in-interaction from a wider perspective. In Interactional Linguistics, CA is often used as the sole method with only a secondary use of other methods for analyzing certain linguistic phenomena. However, depending on research questions, CA may not provide enough tools for explaining, for example, the motivation of the interactional functions of a particular linguistic resource or how conversational structures function across languages. On the other hand, integrating CA to other linguistic approaches has started to increase. Depending on research topics, CA can be integrated with various other linguistic fields and methods for approaching the research questions from different perspectives. For instance, integrating CA framework with linguistic typology allows studying social actions, such as recruitments or expressions of gratitude from a cross-linguistic perspective. Integrating CA and semantic analysis can examine not only what interactional functions a certain lexeme has for structuring a certain social action (such as complaining or rejecting e.g. a request or invitation), but also how these functions of the lexeme are motivated by its semantic meanings. We welcome all kinds of contributions that relate to integration of CA and other linguistic approaches and methods.

Call for Papers:

We invite contributions that include, but are not limited to

- Combining methods from linguistic typology and CA

- Combining semantic analysis and CA: Interactional Semantics or other types of semantic approaches and CA

- Integrating CA with linguistic field methods, for example for description and documentation of lesser-studied languages

- Integrating CA with cognitive theories of grammar, for instance, cognitive grammar and construction grammar

- Using CA as a method in other fields, such as sociolinguistics and translation studies.

|Announcement text=Organised by the GrEP Research Group (Prosodic Studies Group, Dept of Translation and Language Sciences, UPF) and the GEHM Research Network (GEstures and Head Movements in Language)
The 1st International Multimodal Communication Symposium, MMSYM 2023, aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum for researchers from different disciplines who study multimodality in human communication as well as in human-computer interaction. This 2023 edition of the MMSYM symposium is organised by the GrEP Research Group (Prosodic Studies Group), from the Department of Translation and Language Sciences of the University of Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Catalonia, in conjunction with the GEHM research network (e.g., GEstures and Head Movements in Language) https://cst.ku.dk/english/projects/gestures-and-head-movements-in-language-gehm/.

The symposium follows up on a tradition established by the Swedish Symposia on Multimodal Communication held from 1997 until 2000, and continued by the Nordic Symposia on Multimodal Communication held from 2003 to 2012. Since 2013 the symposium has acquired a broader European dimension, with editions held in Malta, Estonia, Ireland, Denmark, Germany and Belgium. This year the symposium will be held in Spain for the first time and has a truly international ambition, hence the new name.

This year we focus on three research themes, which are of particular interest to the GEHM network. The first is language-specific characteristics of gesture-speech interaction, which seeks to account for how speakers’ ability to process and produce gesture and speech is affected and changed by their language profile. The second is multimodal prominence, which investigates the theoretical question of how linguistic prominence is expressed through combinations of kinematic and prosodic features. The third is conceptual and statistical modelling of multimodal contributions, with particular regard to head movements and the use of gaze.

|Announcement text='''TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL INTERACTION'''

PhD School at the Faculty of Humanities at University of Copenhagen

People use technology in everyday life and on work for all sorts of purposes. And while technology gets smaller, easier to use, more convenient, etc. new forms of social interactions emerge. Technology is a vital part of most people’s lives. People use computers, smartphones, video-mediated formats, chats, etc. as key elements in their lives and in intertwined forms. In this PhD course, we do not put emphasis on any specific type of technology, and we do not go into depth with the technology itself. We focus on the methods for analysing human interaction as it naturally occurs in a context of technology by looking at people’s practices for using technology and interacting in a context of technology.

'''The approach that will be taught on the course'''

This course focus on how to analyse video data collected through video ethnographic methods. The overall methodology is based on video ethnography (e.g. Heath, Hindmarsh, & Luff, 2010; Due, 2017) and multimodal conversation analysis (e.g. Goodwin, 2000; Streeck, Goodwin, & LeBaron, 2011; Mondada, 2014) in the ethnomethodological tradition (Rawls, 2008; Suchman, 2007) – often termed EM/CA. We briefly discuss this approach against related fields like Science and Technology Studies (STS), Actor-Network theory (ANT) (Latour, 2005) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) / Human Robot Interaction (HRI). However, the course will not be particularly theoretical, but very practical in relation to issues of doing analysis of video material and establishing novel findings.

The course focus on methodological issues concerning 1) Applying video ethnography and collecting video material in the field, 2) organizing and transcribing data and 3) analysing and discussing findings from the material. Thus, the course will be very hands on.

The course is for PhD students from all sorts of fields and disciplines, but students should either be planning on using video-recordings in their dissertation or already have collected video-recordings from fieldwork.

'''Teaching format and ECTS'''

The course is a 4-day workshop format. This provides for ECTS depending on paper presentation. The course is organized as short presentations from the teachers, workshops around video data (data sessions) and presentations from students. Students are expected to have some minimum level of understanding of ethnomethodology, interaction / conversation analysis and video ethnography. This can be achieved through the reading material as provided below.

All students are expected to do a presentation of their research project in the beginning of the course. If students aim for the 4,5 ECTS, a full paper must be provided as a presentation on the course. The full paper shall have the form of a coherent conference presentation and be delivered as a 10 min. verbal presentation with clear arguments and empirical examples and findings.

If students have already collected video material, they should bring it and show excerpts during the workshops. Students can work on their own video material during the course. If students have not yet collected video data, they can work on video material provided by the teacher or other students. All students will therefore be able to get enhanced skills in video analysis.

Students who already have collected video-data and made transcriptions are invited to provide that data for a shared analysis in the class (data session), which is very helpful for gaining insights about one’s material. Students should write directly to course leader Brian Due if they would take that offer.

'''Teachers on the course'''

Brian Due, PhD, associate professor at Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, is organizing and teaching on the course. Other guests will be invited for shorter presentations.
Lorenza Mondada will be delivering guest lectures during the last days of the course
It will lead up to the annual conference Multimodality Day. Students are encouraged to participate in this conference: https://circd.ku.dk/calender/2022/7th-copenhagen-multimodality-day/

'''Target audience and preparation to the course'''

This course is for every PhD-student who is interested in peoples use of technology, technology affordances, objects in interaction and social interaction, and who is using or want to use video ethnographic methodologies and employ detailed multimodal analysis of this material. Both Danish and foreign students are welcome. Teaching is in English.

'''Preparations'''

The type of data we will be focusing on is primarily video recordings. We will focus on how to collect and transcribe that kind of data, and how to make analysis of it and construct novel claims. You should prepare following:

*Email Brian Due (bdue@hum.ku.dk) 100-200 words describing 1) your focus, 2) your theoretical standpoint and 3) your data and 4) experience with EMCA video ethnography.

*Everyone must present their work. You should state your type of presentation in the above mentioned document.
**3 ECTS: 4 min. overall presentation
**4,5 ECTS: The presentation/paper must have a specific format:

*Be a PowerPoint (or similar) kind of presentation (like conference presentations)

*Last for 9 min. (Followed by 6 min. discussion).

*Not focus on “everything” in your PhD, but have a narrow focus on one particular claim/argument you want to make about technology-in-use.

*Must contain a theoretical position – this have to include a stance towards something from the reading list. (This will be a crucial way to include the obligatory +500 pages of readings and make it relevant for each project and discussions).

*Must be based on showing and analyzing data and reflections on how you (plan to) contribute with new knowledge.

'''Date and time: 28 October, 31 October, 1 November, and 2 November 2022 from 9:00 to 16:00'''

'''Venue:''' The course will be held at University of Copenhagen. Hybrid participation is possible.

'''Preliminary programme:'''

*Overview of the course and the theoretical landscape (part 1)
*Student presentations
*Issues of collecting video-data of technology-in-use
*Open Q&A session.

Day 2

*Theoretical landscape (part 2)

|Announcement text=Welcome to a two-day (free-of-charge) seminar on the theme of ‘Studying technologized social interaction: Trends and challenges’. The event is organised in collaboration with COACT (Complexity of (inter)action and multimodal participation) and GenZ, and it takes place on August 24-25 in Oulu. The venue for the event is Nordic Art Hotel Lasaretti. We hope to make it a fully on-site event, but for some parts/sessions, remote participation is also possible.

The aim is to bring together scholars with a shared interest in the study of “technologized interactions” (Hutchby, 2001, 2014) and address the following questions:

What are the emerging trends and possibilities the use of technologies in our daily lives has created for social interaction research? What are the complexities and challenges when conducting such research?

We invite scholars working on video recorded data from any kind of technology-mediated or technology-supported setting (e.g., educational, professional, mundane) to come and share their research and thoughts, but anyone interested in the topic is warmly welcome. The event is targeted at both early-stage and more experienced researchers.

The seminar consists of

1) a talk by an invited speaker, Dr. Stuart Reeves from the University of Nottingham (http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszsr/),

2) a workshop where we will address methodological, conceptual and practical challenges for carrying out research on technologized settings and share (potential) solutions, and

3) presentations (e.g., of research findings/settings/data) by the attendees (30 min/presenter). It is up to each presenter to decide how they wish to spend their time (e.g., how much time to spend on the presentation and joint discussion).

On the Communicative Affordances of Instrumental Action:

'''Abstract'''

We begin with this simple observation: Taking food can present an occasion for offering food.
The sheer visibility of mealtime self-service to other diners (reflexively) furnishes both a context
and an account for these offers of service. Not only does mealtime self-service furnish a public
launching pad for offering service to others, but the placement of that offer – either on the way to
serving oneself or just after having done so – can frame the offer, casting it as a ‘no bother, while
I’m at it’ offer. Furthermore, an Offerer can modify the path of their self-service so as to overtly
promote the offer: The self-service Manual Action Pathway can be fashioned so as to incorporate
visible preparation to serve the Offeree, just before or just after their own self-service. The report
then takes up those offers made just as the actual transfer of food or drink is carried out. These
offers are recurrently coterminous with the transfer, and thereby become fulfilment-ready just as
the transfer reaches its material completion. In sum, in this report, we are able to specify just how
practical embodied conduct can contribute to the formation of communicative action – thus
providing a way to ground the concept of social solidarity, when applied to offers and their acceptance/declination, in the visible practices of self-service organization.

|Announcement text='''The conference is open to all pragmatics-related topics. But the following 'special theme' has been chosen.'''

''The shape of interaction: the pragmatics of (a)typicality''

We only know the typical from the atypical, and vice versa. Pragmaticians have made a fundamental contribution to the language sciences by showing that interactants presume mutual knowledge of the typical to do atypical things, flout maxims, make other people laugh. They have demonstrated that we expect others to produce typical behaviour, that we orient to atypical interaction and set out to restore routine conduct. They have illustrated in addition that communication can misfire when people fail to share typical, often implicit, signs for signalling mutual comprehension and that, because (a)typical language use is interactive with social standards for communication, this is not without repercussions.

At the same time there have been ample concerns about what pragmatic research has considered typical, normal language use, and what particular types of behaviour and linguistic choices it has been upholding as universal. Other questions have surfaced over who gets to be seen and investigated as commonsensically (a)typical, the extent to which individuals, rather than socially shared discourses, can be said to own pragmatic difficulties, not to mention over what can be considered acceptable pragmatic improvement for whom.

By focusing on the shape of interaction – that is, the resources and modalities used, the strategies deployed, its narrative unfolding or break-up, and its outcome for the involved participants – we seek to reinforce the pragmatics of (a)typicality by encouraging delegates to increase pragmatic insight into, among other things:

How populations diagnosed with autism, schizophrenia and TDAH, DLD or dyslexia process language and engage in meaningful interaction, with members of similarly diagnosed groups as well as undiagnosed others;
how communication is negotiated and achieved between and among deaf, deaf-blind, and hearing people; how these groups combine signs with visual and tactile gestures and other semiotic resources; how ideologies of sign language identify (a)typical resources and approach video and hearing technologies as ordinary or exceptional;
what can be identified as pragmatic difficulties and disfluencies, how these difficulties manifest themselves and are oriented to, and to what extent these difficulties are owned individually or rather emerge and/or disappear in situated, interpersonal communication; how atypical events (health crises, natural disaster, terrorist attacks) turn everyday interaction into sites of surveillance, invite ‘atypical language’ detection technologies, or invite discourses which identify people as atypical, threatening members of society;
how human interaction conjures up and legitimises exceptional, disruptive events by, among others, allusive language or conspiracy theories; how conventional, official, discourses are contested by exceptional, multimodal protest discourses; and how human interaction forges atypical solidarity across ethnic, social, linguistic and/or political divides.

Which arguments are formulated by laypeople and experts to account for monolingual and multilingual practices, sites or communities as (a)typical, in what contexts; how these accounts impact on observable language use; how opponents in debate over language define the limits of acceptable, (a)typical arguments; and how pragmaticians as a community of practice define the boundaries of (a)typical academic writing.

The basic assumption behind plurilingualism is that individual language components are “uneven, differentiated according to the learner’s experience and in an unstable relation as that experience changes” (CEFR 2001: 34). Plurilinguals are assumed to have the ability to call flexibly upon their repertoire and e.g., switch from one language, dialect, or variety to another, call upon the knowledge of several languages (or dialects, or varieties) to make sense of a text or experiment with alternative forms of expression (CEFR Companion Volume 2020: 30). The fluidity with which various language components interact is believed to promote the development of linguistic and cultural awareness, and to contribute to global understanding and acceptance of diversity. It is also interwoven with the concept of pluriculturalism – an approach that perceives individuals as complex beings shaped by multiple cultural experiences and identifications.

Yet, with languages (and their cultural contexts) being taught in isolation, compartmentalized institutionalized education often leaves little room for a plurilingual approach. This is problematic as monolingual teaching: a) fails to do justice to the complex reality of learners’ linguistic/cultural repertoires (Blommaert & Backus 2011), and b) creates “limitations in terms both of learning capacity and space in the curriculum” (FREPA 2012: 8). In the European context, this e.g., stands in the way of the Barcelona Summit (2002) “mother tongue + 2” objective. At the same time, there is ample evidence to support the notion that adopting plurilingualism can be a challenge for teachers. As Helot and Ó Laoire (2011, xi) put it: “teachers in the multilingual classroom may continue to underestimate the competence of plurilingual students and to silence their voices, rather than using cross-linguistic learning strategies and learners’ metalinguistic awareness as learning resources across languages and even across school disciplines.”

The conference, associated with the project TEACUP (teacup-project.eu), will focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with the adoption of the plurilingual approach and on the measures that could be undertaken to make it more accessible. We welcome empirical, theoretical, and practice-based contributions that address but are not limited to the following questions:

What theoretical perspectives need to be reassessed, redefined, discussed, or considered in the pursuit of making plurilingualism more accessible?

What promising and/or challenging methods are there to foster various plurilingual competences and learning strategies in a sustainable way?

What challenges and opportunities are associated with the affective dimension of plurilingualism?

What geopolitical and educational policy factors play or have played a role in a sustainable adoption of the plurilingual approach?

What influence do local and national (educational) contexts exert on plurilingualism/pluriculturalism and on the measure undertaken to make the implementation of the plurilingual/pluricultural approach more accessible?

The aim of the conference is to engage interested colleagues in fruitful discussions in which they can share their reflections, experiences, perspectives, and insights. Participation is free of charge.

|Short summary=Advancing Multimodal Conversation Analysis is pleased to accept applications for their Summer School. Held at the University of Basel June 21-24, 2022. Participants should have prior training in multimodal CA. More Info: https://www.amemca.ch/ #EMCA #EMCAIL #LSI
|Announcement text=We are pleased to announce the “Advancing Multimodal Conversation Analysis” Summer School, which will be held at the University of Basel from June 21-24, 2022. Please find below a synthetic description of the Summer School as well as a poster. We would appreciate if you could put this information on the emcawiki webpage.

The “Advancing Multimodality in Conversation Analysis” Summer School aims at developing training, analytic experiences, and discussions about Multimodal Conversation Analysis. Multimodal analyses of video data have been booming for a few years now: the Summer School aims at reflecting about key advances as well as about how to further expand the field. In particular, it aims at developing both the complexity and systematicity of multimodal analysis. It tackles central topics such as sequentiality and temporality of complex multimodal Gestalts, advances in the analysis of embodied practices, and future trends in Multimodal Conversation Analysis.

These aims are implemented by proposing two series of advanced courses on multimodality and sequentiality. The first series offers hands-on workshops based on video data (in situ, in Basel), demonstrating and discussing how collections of complex multimodal phenomena are achieved. Workshops will be given by Sara Merlino (Roma, IT), Florence Oloff (Mannheim, D), and Burak Tekin (Ankara, TR). The second series offers lectures (remote, via Zoom) on conceptual topics such as action formation, sequentiality, accountability, embodiment and sensoriality. Talks will be given by Anita Pomerantz (Albany, US), John Heritage (UCLA, US), Aug Nishizaka (Chiba, JP), and Jeffrey Robinson (Portland, US). Our aim is to make the lectures publicly available to non-participants as well (at the discretion of the speakers). Please check our webpage, www.amemca.ch, for further updates regarding this issue as well as other news.

The participants are young scholars who already have some training in multimodal CA and are interested in exercising and further elaborating their skills in building and analyzing collections of interactional phenomena, as well as developing their conceptual vision of multimodality.

|Announcement text=CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR SPECIAL ISSUE

'''Examining Question Use in Clinical Contexts with Children and Youth'''

This co-edited special journal issue will focus on bringing together state-of-the-art scholarship on the interactional function(s) of questions in clinical contexts involving children and adult participants. Sacks (1992) argued that studying questions is critical, as they illuminate imperative information about interactional rights. More specifically, question and answer sequences characterize clinical communication in institutional settings (Hayano, 2012; Lester & O’Reilly, 2021; Tracy & Robles, 2009). Question-response sequences have indeed been well studied in clinical contexts (e.g., Erkelens et al., 2021; Heritage, 2010; Jenkins et al., 2015; Maynard, 1991; O’Reilly et al., 2015; Robinson & Heritage, 2006; Stafford et al., 2016; Stivers & Majid, 2007), with much of this scholarship highlighting how questions used in clinical interviews serve a range of functions, including agenda setting and delivery of diagnostic news. While there is a sizeable body of scholarship around question design generally and in clinical contexts specifically, far less attention has been given to question-response sequences in clinical contexts that involve both children and adults -- contexts wherein the negotiation and navigation of children's membership rights, epistemic status, and competence occurs. As such, this special issue aims to center attention on interactional sequences whereby children and young people are questioned in the presence of adults in clinical settings (e.g., pediatric clinics, primary care, mental health settings). This focus will explore how epistemic rights are invoked by different parties, how questions are designed to be developmentally appropriate, how next speaker selection is managed in situ, how social and interactional competencies are oriented to, and the extent to which child-centered practice is realized in real world clinical settings.

The special issue’s targeted publication outlet will be a clinically oriented journal (e.g., Patient Education and Counseling). As such, we strongly encourage clinicians and/or interdisciplinary research teams with a track record of writing for clinical audiences to submit an abstract for consideration. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

● Questioning practices for child/patient-centered care;

● Question design in family therapy;

● Information elicitation in diagnostic practices;

● Answering more than the question;

● Getting beyond ‘I don’t know’ answers;

If interested, please submit a 500-word abstract and 100-word author biography to Jessica Nina Lester (jnlester@iu.edu), Francesca Williamson (frawhite@iu.edu), and Michelle O’Reilly (mjo14@leicester.ac.uk) by August 25, 2022. The editorial team will review abstracts and invite selected authors by September 30, 2022. Full manuscripts will not be due until mid-2023.

|Full title=CfP 17 June 22 Special Issue - Law-in-(inter)action: communicative practices in legal settings
|Short title=Law in interaction
|Short summary=Call for Papers! Special issue on 'Law-in-(inter)action: communicative practices in legal settings' #EMCA studies are very welcome! Deadline: 17th June https://bit.ly/3LQ1DMw #LSI #EMCAIL
|Announcement text=The connection between law and language has been investigated by a myriad of researchers from different disciplines, using a wide range of methods (see Conley et al. 2019; Coulthard et al. 2021). Language plays a decisive role in constituting the legal universe, as it is through talk- in-interaction that legal professionals (i.e. lawyers, judges, conciliators, mediators, police officers, etc.) perform some of the activities which are most germane to the deliver of justice around the world. However, despite the pervasive nature of language in legal work, research on talk-in-interaction in police and judicial settings is still marginal in the social sciences.

This call for papers stems from our desire to promote empirical research in language and law that focuses on examining interactional and discursive practices which are constitutive of law-in- (inter)action. We welcome submissions from those working with audio/video recordings or official transcripts of legal or quasi-legal speech events (e.g. courtroom interactions, police interrogations/interviews, mediation encounters, etc), and employing methodologies from the social sciences and linguistics (e.g. conversation analysis, ethnmethodology, interactional sociolinguistics, lingustic anthropology). In this way, we hope to bring together those studying interactional and discursive practices in legal contexts, who also situate their research findings in broader debates on language and law and/or socio-legal studies.

This special issue is guest edited by Fabio Ferraz de Almeida (University of Jyväskylä, Finland) and Camila Alves Borges Oliveira (FGV Direito SP, Brazil).

All manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer review following the journal’s standard procedure.

Interested authors should submit their manuscripts online, via the journal system: https://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/LLLD/index

The submission deadline to be considered for this special issue is 17 June 2022, for a tentative publication date of December 2022.

'''Title:''' Perspective taking in multiparty human-machine dialogue

'''Supervision Team:''' Benjamin R Cowan, UCD (Primary Supervisor) / Vincent Wade, TCD (External Secondary Supervisor)

Description: Work on human-machine dialogue suggests that people take their partner’s perspective into account when interacting with speech based automated dialogue partners. Perspective taking more generally is seen as critical to successful communication. Through smartspeakers, speech agents have become devices that hold conversations with multiple users in interaction. This move from dyadic to multiparty dialogue is likely to be accelerated as agents take a more proactive approach to engaging users in dialogue, becoming member of a team rather than the sole target of the interaction. This PhD aims to identify how perspective taking mechanisms manifest in mixed human-speech agent teams, and how this influences user language choices when engaging with the speech agent.

The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing languages, to foster the development of an international community, to discuss the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield has had a checkered history, but comparative and contrastive work has always been and continues to be an important part of linguistic research. New impulses for comparative and contrastive work include the increasing availability of multilingual corpora or comparative work drawing on naturalistic interaction data. At this anniversary edition of ICLC, we want to provide a stage for the presentation of such new work, and reflect the past, current and future developments of contrastive research in linguistics.

'''We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following:'''

Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics from any area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics as well as matters such as register and socio-cultural context

The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic research

The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research

The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as historical, typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics

The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied linguistics such as foreign language teaching and learning, translation studies and corpus linguistics

Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to contrastive analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional, generative, constructional approaches)

Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability, incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis, language universals)

Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel / translation corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal corpora, naturalistic data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and neurolinguistic experiments, surveys)

The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic generalizations and the development of linguistic theory on the other hand

Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers.

'''Confirmed keynote speakers are:'''

Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics, Germany)

Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands)

Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven, Belgium)

Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Germany)

Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway)

There will be a possibility to publish selected papers in a conference volume.

'''Submission of Abstracts'''

We invite submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for discussion). Abstracts should formulate a clear research question and include a description of the methods, results and conclusions. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers.

All submissions must be in English, fully anonymous, and no longer than one page (12 point Times New Roman), with up to one additional page for data, figures and references. Abstracts will be submitted via the EasyChair system. Further details on the submission procedure, registration and practical information will be announced in the 2nd call.
