|Short summary=Bookings are now open for University of Oxford 19-20 June ‘Introduction to conversation analysis and health care encounters’ course. Places are limited to 24. https://bit.ly/3WoniAL
|Announcement text=This two day course is a contemporary working introduction to applying conversation analytic methods in health research using a blend of formal lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises and an extended supervised small group practicum.
Participants will learn about conversation analysis as a qualitative method for studying communication in health care, how to go about making video or audio recordings of naturally-occurring encounters between patients, caregivers and health care providers in different settings and gain practical skills in transcribing and analysing them. By the end of the course participants will understand how to apply conversation analytic methods either within standalone projects or alongside other methods in health services research towards the improvement of patient care.

This course is led by Dr Rebecca Barnes, an expert in applying conversation analytic methods. It is open to anyone who would like to understand the basic principles behind conversation analytic methods and to develop practical skills how to apply them to health care encounter data. Participants do not need to have any previous experience or knowledge of conversation analytic methods, although involvement in, or future ambitions towards planning a research project applying these methods would make the course more relevant.

COURSE DELIVERY

Please note that some of the teaching sessions for this online course will involve you participating in live, interactive Zoom sessions, which will fall between the hours of 09:00 and 17:00 UK time. We are very happy to welcome bookings wherever you are internationally, but please make sure that you are able to attend video calls between these hours.

CONTENT:

-What is conversation analysis (CA)?

-What kinds of questions can CA methods address in health research?

-Collecting naturalistic data: Ethical issues, recording and transcribing.

-Analysing naturalistic data: Making and working with collections.

-Small group practicum with expert supervision.

-Understanding pathways to impact and how to disseminate CA findings.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the basic principles behind using CA to study health care encounters

2. Recognise the sorts of research questions for which CA methods may be appropriate

3. Determine how to collect high quality recordings of health care encounters in different settings, and identify the key conventions used in the CA approach to transcription

4. Apply practical skills in working with recordings and transcripts of health care encounters to build collections of interaction practices for CA analysis

5. Give examples of the kinds of impact CA studies can have in health research and the range of strategies for disseminating CA findings

WE PROVIDE:

-Experienced, approachable tutors who are actively engaged in health research using CA methods

-Access to slides, transcripts and naturalistic data for you to work with

-Information on relevant software, recommended reading lists, further training opportunities and events

|Announcement text=10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference

2nd 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 neighbouring 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=Opening of Post Doc position on Machine Learning for Human-Robot Interaction @LIRIS-CNRS UMR5205, University Claude Bernard-Lyon1

Duration : 15 months (potentially extensible to 18 months) - Expected starting date January 2023

Team : SyCoSMA at LIRIS-CNRS (UMR 5205), University Claude Bernard-Lyon 1

Project : PepperMint funded by ASLAN Labex

Partners: LIRIS (SyCoSMA, SAARA Teams), ICAR (InSitu Team), University of Oulu-Finland (GenZ),

Supervision: Pr. Salima Hassas , Dr. Mathieu Lefort

Context

PepperMint (Interacting with Pepper: mutual learning of turn-taking practices in HRI) is funded by the ASLAN Labex. It proposes an exploratory study of embodied turn-taking practices in task-related Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) to improve the social abilities of robots and make HRI more natural to humans. The project initiates a cooperation between researchers in AI (Artificial Intelligence) (LIRIS) and CA (Conversation Analysis) (ICAR and GenZ Oulu - Finland).

It investigates if and how CA findings on natural occurring interaction can be used to develop innovative and effective AI models for HRI. The project is grounded in a detailed multimodal analysis of turn-taking in naturally occurring HRI, putting forward the emergence of turn allocation as complex sequential and multimodal practices.

The project is built upon existing works on AI/ML (Machine Learning) algorithms of the state of the art to program an application for reception and orientation of people in a university library. Previously, we recorded human-robot interactions based on a first ad-hoc version of the robot with state of the art algorithms and ad-hoc turn-taking practices. These data are used in CA studies to identify successful interactions. The goal of this post doc is to use this annotated dataset for machine learning methods to propose a new AI model for HRI, coupling developmental learning and CA findings.

The detailed missions of the Post Doc will be:
– To review the state of the art algorithms for Turn-Taking.
– To collaborate with another Post-Doc in the field of Conversation Analysis, to clean and prepare the annotated data that will be produced by the CA researchers, and create new algorithms for ML according to CA findings.
– To develop a new version of the HRI application with new ML (oriented towards Developmental Learning) algorithms to improve turn-taking practices in HRI.
– To contribute to the (scientific) communication activities of the PepperMint Project.

Required Skills:

We are looking for a Post Doc to join our project team composed of researchers, engineers and practitioners in the field of AI / Social Robotics and CA.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and background:
– Strong Expertise/Experience/Background in AI and Machine Learning
– Good development/programming skills in Object Oriented Programming (e.g. Java, C++, Python)
– Fluent or good level in written English�
– Open mindness, teamwork, autonomy and capacity to interact with other disciplines like social sciences.
– Interest in interdisciplinary research
– Knowledge in Social Robotics (Human Robot Interaction) would be a plus

|Announcement text=Dear Colleagues:

We are soliciting manuscripts for an edited volume on *conversation analysis as a change agent in language teacher education*. Over the last decade, conversation analytic (CA) findings from classroom discourse studies have started feeding into language teacher education contexts, yielding a number of CA-based teacher training frameworks such as SETT (Walsh 2013), IMDAT (Sert, 2019) and FAB (Waring & Creider, 2021). We have now reached a tipping point of grappling with or groping for the material impact of CA in the actual language classrooms around the world. In particular, we are interested in *studies that document practice-based changes (e.g., change in teacher practices in the classroom and in reflective practices) in which CA plays a role.* We realize that such CA-informed “interventions” can come in many shapes and forms and welcome a multitude of endeavors and innovations.

Should you be interested in participating in such a project, please send us a *300-word abstract by* *December 5, 2022 *that describes (1) the context of the study, (2) the specific role CA plays as a change agent, and (3) the types of changes (to be) documented. Decisions for possible inclusion in the volume will be sent out by December 15, 2022, with submissions of first drafts due by July 1, 2023.

Please use this link to submit your abstract: https://bit.ly/3zwd73x

|Announcement text=Computational and Quantitative Approaches to Multimodal Video Analysis - CAMVA 2023

Call For Papers

Whereas other branches of linguistics and sociology have undergone a significant computational and qualitative transformation over the last decades, Conversation Analysis (CA) and Multimodal Interaction Analysis remain predominantly qualitative fields of research to this day. In part, this is due to core tenets of the field, such as the emphasis on using emic categories and adhering to the sequentially of an interaction. In addition, the local, contextually embedded accomplishment of actions in interaction also makes quantitative multimodal analyses of interactions a tricky undertaking. In part, it may also be due to the fact that the extensive transcription and annotation of large video corpora is extremely time consuming. Nonetheless, there have been a few voices within CA that have raised the questions if quantitative analyses could also be used in CA research (Stivers 2015). These calls coincide with an increase of computational models that can be applied to video recordings of human interaction and beyond that can largely facilitate or even fully automate the process of annotation.

Computer Vision tools can be used to recognize and categorize embodied elements of communication, such as gestures or facial expressions, as well as for demarcating environmental features, such as the background or furniture, distances between participants to an interaction and much more. Automatic speech recognition tools have become increasingly precise and reliable, even in dealing with challenges of spoken or non-standard language. There has been a rich variety of sophisticated Natural Language Processing tools, that can label grammar, moods, topics, narrative sequences, etc. Furthermore, fields such as Corpus Linguistics have developed elaborate methods to process, query and analyse linguistic data quantitatively to derive data-driven trends and insights. This is why we would like to raise the question if and how quantitative methods could also be used effectively in CA and interactional linguistics in order to investigate human interaction from a multimodal perspective.

In the workshop, we would like to support an exchange of ideas and approaches that could expand our understanding of how computational methods could complement qualitative analyses, and also how computational approaches could benefit from theoretical insights. We therefore invite empirical as well as theoretical contributions that describe or reflect the use of quantitative or computational tools in the context of multimodal analyses of interaction. These can cover human interactions, including speech, embodied conduct and sign language, including film and documentary recordings.

The workshop will consist of two presentation sessions and a panel discussion between invited experts representing theoretical and computational approaches.

Please send your abstract of maximum 500 words (excluding bibliography, figures and tables). The deadline for submission is December 11, 2022. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by January 15, 2023.

In order to guarantee diversity, one person may be the first author of only one submission and co-author of one other submission.

ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship

Loughborough University and LOROS, Hospice Care for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland

The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 14 partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School is a collaboration between the University of Warwick, Aston University, University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham.
Loughborough University, as part of Midlands Graduate School, is inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner LOROS, Hospice Care for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, to commence in October 2022.

The successful applicant will undertake a study using the methodology of conversation analysis – entailing detailed inductive analysis of recordings of real-life interactions. The student will examine how sensitive conversational activities, including discussing death and dying, are managed within interactions between patients, their companions, and healthcare practitioners who specialise in
palliative and end-of-life care. The applicant will spend time with LOROS Hospice staff and service users, and visit other UK Hospices. Through field visits, discussions, relevant reading, and academic supervision, the applicant will be supported in developing their own distinctive research foci.

After familiarising themselves with key concepts and empirical studies, the student will examine an existing dataset comprising 85 audio/visually-recorded hospice consultations involving 85 patients (and sometimes companions), 5 consultants in palliative medicine, 5 occupational therapists, and 3 physiotherapists. Permissions exist for secondary analyses of these data. Analysis
will include watching recordings, identifying sequences of talk containing phenomena of interest, and generating detailed transcripts using notation capturing what people say and how they say it, including silences, intonation, and embodied conduct.

The collaborating organisation (LOROS) hosts a large research and education centre. The education department delivers communication skills training annually to over 350 health and social care professionals from the East Midlands and beyond.
The student will be based within the Centre for Research in Communication and Culture at Loughborough and benefit from input from academics who specialise in the study of communication on palliative and end-of-life care, including Marco Pino and Ruth Parry. The student will receive comprehensive training in the analysis of interpersonal communication.

Familiarity with healthcare contexts and with conversation analysis would be advantageous but are not vital. The applicant should be fully prepared to work closely with data that can be emotionally and indeed existentially challenging; associated support mechanisms in place for all team members will also be available to the PhD student.

Application Process

To be considered for this PhD, please complete the Collaborative Studentship application form available online here. Shortlisted applicants will also be required to provide transcripts and two references.

Application deadline: Monday 5th September 2022

Interviews will take place on Thursday 8th September 2022

|Announcement text=Postdoctoral researcher in the area of Language and (digital) Space and Place
100% funded

The University Research Priority Program (URPP) 'Language and Space' at the University of Zurich (UZH) combines insights from dialectology, typology, and interactional linguistics with geography in order to explore the interface between language and space with regard to two major domains:
the distribution of languages and linguistic structures in geographical and social space
the embedding of speech in the spatial environment and in place making as shaped by perception, motion, and action

Your responsibilities

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher on a 2-year, full-time contract to pursue independent research in the domain of language and (digital) space and place, ideally with a link to geography. Possible directions of research include, but are not limited to:
-tracing and modelling the emergence and construction of spaces and places and their various dimensions (e.g. social, interactive, technological) in communication
-investigating the pragmatic dimension of (interactive) communication across multimodal spaces, in particular finding traces of interaction in digital communicative spaces
-modelling the diffusion of linguistic innovation in online media and exploring their relationship to geographic space
-exploring spatial references in digital spaces as potential places

The postdoctoral researcher is expected to contribute to the interdisciplinary research activities of the URPP, establish an innovative strand of research related to the aims of the URPP and collaborate with the URPP's Language and Space Lab. The position includes teaching responsibilities (a maximum of 2h/week).

Your profile

We are looking for a highly motivated, ambitious, original thinker who will add a new facet to the URPP's research landscape. Applicants must have a PhD in a field of research related to the aims of the URPP, i.e. a branch of linguistics or geography. Experience in their field of specialization as documented by pertinent publications is a prerequisite. Applicants should be able to carry out independent research and pursue their research with determination and demonstrated openness to interdisciplinary exchange. They are expected to be experienced in empirical methods of linguistic research, ideally with some experience in GIS methods or methods of human geography and social sciences.

What we offer

We offer excellent working conditions at a world-leading university, a competitive salary, travel budget, a stimulating, well-connected environment, support in personal and career development, and Zurich's high quality of life.

Place of work

Freiestrasse 16, 8032 Zürich, Switzerland

Start of employment

The position is available until filled (first deadline: August 20, 2022). Starting date: November 1, 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter.

|Short title=Radboud Uni Postdoc
|Short summary=The Faculty of Arts at Radboud University is looking for five postdoctoral researchers in the Centre for Language Studies (CLS) or the Radboud Institute for Culture & History (RICH). Application deadline 1 August, 2022 https://bit.ly/3nMpNgu
|Announcement text=Are you keen to work in an international group of dedicated scientists? And would you like to choose a research topic of your interest in the fields of AI, cultural heritage and societal change, or language and culture? Join our open and safe environment as a postdoc, where we value your creativity and initiative where you can put your ideas to the test and push your boundaries.

The Faculty of Arts at Radboud University is looking for five postdoctoral researchers. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be a member of the Centre for Language Studies (CLS) or of the Radboud Institute for Culture & History (RICH). In addition, you will be a member of one of the three departments of the Faculty of Arts: History, Art History and Antiquity (GKO), Modern Languages and Cultures (MTC), or Language and Communication (LandC).

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will conduct research in one of the following three fields: (i) human AI, including digital humanities, (ii) cultural heritage and societal change, including historical studies, or (iii) language and culture, including linguistics (the three themes of the Dutch Sector Plan for the Humanities). A combination of these fields is of course also possible. Within these fields, there is a preference for research on language variation; AI and language and communication; functional low literacy; digital humanities; environmental humanities; and/or non-western approaches to language and culture (the six 'growth areas' of our two research institutes). To give you an idea of what we have in mind, here follow some examples of possible postdoctoral projects (but of course you can also submit your own suggestions). For postdocs to be affiliated with CLS: you might be interested in developing and testing applications (e.g. games) to improve language learning for both foreign language learners and low literates, or, based on empirical data (collected in experiments or from corpora), study synchronic language variation, or investigate how linguistic and cultural knowledge can improve applications. For postdocs to be affiliated with RICH: you might consider historical or cultural studies addressing cultural heritage in relation to societal or environmental change, possibly using digital humanities approaches and/or methodologies. Or you might want to inquire into the digitalisation of culture in relation to the cultural sector (e.g. the use of digitalisation by cultural institutions) or study digital cultures surrounding indigenous cultures (e.g. representations on social media and for tourist purposes). We also welcome proposals in the field of language and gender, diversity and inclusion.

Your research will be embedded in CLS or RICH. You will participate in their research groups and contribute to the institutes in general. You will set up research collaborations on these topics with the present staff of these research institutes. You will publish about your research in highly qualified journals, conference proceedings, or edited volumes. You will be expected to teach a limited number of courses in our Bachelor's and/or Master's degree programmes (approx. 20% of your appointment).

We have in total five positions available.

Profile

You hold a PhD in a relevant field or will have obtained one by 1 November, 2022.
You have demonstrable expertise in digital humanities, cultural heritage, and/or language and culture studies.
You have a track record of international high-profile scholarly publications.
You have the ambition to play an active role within CLS or RICH.
You are willing to teach a few BA or MA courses.
You have the ability to attract external research funding.
You have administrative and organisational skills.
You hold a Cambridge Certificate (CPE2 level) in English or equivalent, or you are committed to obtaining this certificate within six months.
You are willing to live in the Netherlands during the contract.

|Short summary=The 4th Meeting Conversation Analysis in Brazil (IV EnACE) will take place 22-24 March, 2023 in Sao Paolo, Brazil and is now accepting abstracts http://www.enace2023.com/en
|Announcement text=Multimodality in Human Interaction

We are pleased to announce the fourth edition of the 4th Meeting Conversation Analysis in Brazil (IV EnACE) which will take place on March 22, 23, and 24, 2023, at the School of Philosophy, Languages and Human Sciences of the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), in the city of Guarulhos, São Paulo, in partnership with “Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos” (Unisinos University).

EnACE aims to bring together researchers, research groups, and students who are dedicated to the description and analysis of talk-in-interaction and social interactions and who are affiliated with the theoretical perspective of Conversation Analysis or interactional linguistics empirically oriented to naturalistic interactions, such as studies of conversation analysis, multimodal conversation analysis, interactional linguistics and gestures in interaction (gesture studies).

The IV EnACE is organized by two research groups: the Interação, Cognição e Multimodalidade (InCoMul) from “Universidade Federal de São Paulo” (UNIFESP), coordinated by Prof. Dr. Fernanda Miranda da Cruz, and by the Fala-em-Interação (FEI) group, from the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Unisinos), coordinated by Prof. Dr. Ana Cristina Ostermann.

The theme chosen for this fourth edition is “Multimodality in human interaction”. Human interactions have a primordial and fundamentally multimodal organization and, for the construction of these interactions, the participants mobilize resources of different semiotic natures, which encompass language in its various aspects (e.g., prosody, syntax, lexicon), embodied conducts (e.g., gestures, facial expressions, body movements in space) and the physical artifacts of the material world (e.g., objects, technologies, devices, tools).

EnACE, in its edition under the theme Multimodality of human interaction, would like to gather especially, although not exclusively, studies on human interaction and on talk-in-interaction that have been dedicated to exploring the coordination between body, gestures, material world, and language in the construction and organization of human interactions. In addition, it also it also aims at contemplating proposals proposals that share or problematize questions about technical and methodological issues on multimodal research (notation and representation of audiovisual corpora; multimodal transcription; the use of tools for viewing and annotating video, e.g., ELAN, EXMARaLDA, Anvil).

International Conferences of the IV EnACE

Continuing the work of expanding its network of dialogue with other countries, already started by the organizing committees of the previous editions, the fourth edition will bring three lecturers who are a reference in the international academic community of AC, namely, Lorenza Mondada (the University of Basel, Switzerland); Galina Bolden (The University of New Jersey, United States of America); Katherina Walper (Universidad Austral de Chile, Chile).

In addition to international speakers, we have extended our call for contribution of oral communications, whose accepted languages for submission are abstracts English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Rules for Abstract Submission

EnACE has two modes of participation: the presentation of papers (oral communication and joint analysis of data) and the listening mode.

Find below the rules for the submission of the paper.

Modalities of participation in the presentation of papers

Oral communication:

Each participant will have up to 20 minutes to present their oral communication and, depending on the number of papers submitted, up to 10 minutes to discuss them with the other participants in the session. The papers submitted for oral presentation will be distributed in thematic sessions for the presentation of papers. Accepted languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese.

(c) Languages accepted for abstracts: Spanish, English, Portuguese

Joint data analysis session:

This type of session is a practice at some Conversation Analysis conferences. The joint data analysis sessions aim to provide those who already have data with an environment for the analytical exercise. The participants look over a recording and share their analytic insights with researchers from different institutions. Therefore, it is essential that the researcher does not take his/her analysis finished, but that he/she is available to listen to different possibilities of data appreciation.

Guidelines for proposal submission:

(a) Abstract: The proponent must present a text contextualizing the data of a maximum of 300 words. Abstract structure: the origin of data; the scope of the project in which they were generated; the scenario of the segments; and the activity(s) in which participants are engaged during the segment.

(b) Title of the abstract: it must inform, in a few words, the context of the interaction/collection that is being submitted for joint analysis. E.g. “doctor-patient interaction in context X”, “telephone call terminations”, “questions and answers in context Y”, etc.

(c) Transcripts: they must be presented in the Jefferson transcription system (cf. Loder, 2008) and may comprise one or more segments, provided that a maximum of 3 (three) pages of transcription are totaled with the following formatting:

- Font: Courier New, size 10;

- Page margins: top 2.5cm, bottom 2.5cm, left 3cm, right 3cm.

- Guidelines on the system, see some references: 1. Jefferson de transcrição: LODER, L. L. O modelo Jefferson de transcrição: convenções e debates. In: LODER, L.; JUNG, N. (Org.). Fala-em-interação social: Introdução à análise da conversa etnometodológica. Porto Alegre: Mercado de Letras, 2008. p. 127-162. 2. Hepburn, Alexa & Bolden, Galina. (2017). Transcribing for Social Research. 10.4135/9781473920460.

(d) The file with the transcripts must be saved in .pdf format, cannot contain any information about the proponent of the session, and must be sent through the registration system by the final submission date.

(e) Accepted languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese.

Guidelines for conducting the joint data analysis session:

(a) Each proponent will have one hour to present their data and discuss them with the other participants in the session.

(b) The proponent must be prepared to present audio/video excerpts that occurred immediately before or immediately after the presented segment if requested during the session.

(c) Printed copies of the transcripts of data proposed for joint analysis will be made available, as well as the necessary equipment, such as a computer, image projector, and speakers, if the proponent chooses to show the recording of the transcribed segments to be analyzed (which it is strongly suggested that it be done, as it is a fundamental part of sessions for this purpose).

(d) Languages accepted for submission of proposals: Spanish, English, Portuguese

Important dates:

Registration with the presentation of oral communication or for data sessions: from 1st July 2022 to 1st September 2022.

Listener registration (without presentation of papers): from 1 October 2022 to 30 October 2022

Payment/registration with the presentation of a paper: until 15 January 2023

Payment of registration without presentation of a paper: until 15 January 2023

Conferences date: 22-24 March 2023

|Announcement text=Evidence for Claims about Sense-Making associated with Assessments

The talk focuses on evidence that analysts may use to substantiate claims involving interactants’ shared assumptions, understandings, expectations, and reasoning – claims that people associate with cognition. Some conversation analysts steer clear of such claims and assertion about cognitive states, arguing that such claims cannot be substantiated with interactional conduct. While it is true that interactional conduct does not provide direct evidence about understandings, expectations, and reasoning, such processes are very much a part of what goes into interactional actions, sequences, and practices. Our analysis should recognize the place of sense-making in interactional conduct. In this talk, I focus on what may be used as credible evidence for interactants’ assumptions about disagreeing with a co-participant, praising oneself, and the relationships between accessing/experiencing a referent and assessing the referent.

|Announcement text=Seeing the physiognomy of an object: Doing inspecting in interaction

Participants in interaction occasionally lean and maintain their gazes toward an object. With this embodied practice, they may be doing “specifically inspecting the object.” In the detailed analysis of several interactional fragments, this study demonstrates that participants use this practice as a resource for avoiding an utterance being constructed as a particular action. This suggests that seeing may be a constitutive part of an action type rather than collecting information from the environment through a distinctive sense; seeing is a part of the bodily configuration, involving multiple bodies, in which an action is constructed. We see, as it were, the physiognomy of an object that changes according to the temporal unfolding of an ongoing activity, rather than seeing the object simpliciter.

|Announcement text=The Importance of Collections and Strategies for Building Them

The foundation of Conversation Analysis is the single-case analysis. However, there are at least four, related reasons to assemble collections of cases. First, the significance of any behavior of interest (e.g., a pointing gesture) needs to be understood in terms of social action. Second, all actions are locally situated, at least in terms of their composition (which likely entails behaviors beyond, e.g., a pointing gesture, to a gestalt of behaviors) and sequential position, but often in other ways as well (e.g., epistemics). Third, the analysis of action ascription is more productive when conceptualizing the relationship between practices and actions as one of ‘family resemblances,’ as opposed to ‘one-to-one.’ Fourth, actions are normatively organized, meaning that, although they are regularly produced and understood in particular ways that regularly instantiate particular normative-moral accountabilities that are regularly associated with particular patterns of interactional conduct, irregular productions (i.e., deviations) are strategic and accountable, and thus meaningful. For at least these reasons, collections are necessary insofar as single cases – or even several of them – are often insufficient to comprehensively describe social action. In this talk, I discuss: (1) the importance of collections for conducting socially systematic conversation analysis; and (2) strategies for building collections in ways that support such analysis.

|Announcement text=Sequential, Linguistic and Multimodal Resources for Action Ascription

This lecture briefly outlines some of the main resources – both internal and external to the turn – that may contribute to the process of action ascription. It is suggested that action ascription involves the integration of ‘bottom-up’ resources within the turn (including grammar, lexicon, prosody, gaze and multi-modality) with ‘top-down’ resources external to the turn (sequence position, location of the sequence within a broader activity, institutional contexts, and personal statuses and the rights accruing to them). Work on the integration of these resources may also shed light on the apparent rapidity with which action ascription is achieved by comparison with the slower pace of turn projection. In the case of European and other ‘front-loaded languages’, it is possible that the integration of turn external characteristics may contribute towards this outcome.

Abstract
In order to diagnose and monitor a patient’s condition, patients and clinicians routinely have to establish how the patient’s body feels or should feel for the patient, the sense through which they establish the location, movement, and actions of the patient’s body. These experiences are inherently internal for the patient.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, physiotherapy services have routinely started to use video consultations to monitor and assess patients. This poses a new challenge to participants. Patients still do exercises and physical assessments, but accurate assessment cannot be supported through physical touch. They have to rely on other means to establish the patient’s experiences of their body. This paper explores how patients and physios rely on the physio’s professional vision and the patient’s body awareness (or proprioception) to establish the patient’s abilities (e.g., strength, flexibility, skills) and feelings (e.g., pain, stretch) in the context of monitoring and assessment, and instructing the patient in new exercises.

The paper is part of an NIHR-funded project: Supporting Consultations in Remote Physiotherapy. Analysis is based on 15 video-recorded video consultations, collected across two NHS Trusts in three specialist physiotherapy settings: long-term pain, neurorehabilitation, and orthopaedics.

Presenter’s Bio:
Lucas Seuren is a post-doctoral researcher affiliated with the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford. He investigates the interactional organisation of video consultations in secondary care in the UK NHS, with a particular interest in how participants accomplish physical assessments and exercises remotely.

Frontiers in Membership Categorisation Analysis.

Editors:
William Housley and Richard Fitzgerald

Background and Context:
Since the publication of Culture-in-Action. Studies in Membership Categorisation Analysis (Hester and
Eglin, 1997) Membership Categorisation Analysis (MCA) has become a prominent methodological and
analytic approach across the social sciences, regularly included in research methods texts and encyclopaedia,
and employed across a range of topics of study. The take up of MCA across disciplines, as a form of
qualitative research, is a testament to the original work of Sacks and the development of his work
particularly by Rod Watson, Lena Jayussi, Jeff Coulter, Carolyn Baker, Dave Francis, and of course
Stephen Hester and Peter Eglin.
Hester and Eglin argued that the analysis of categorisation practices was not only or primarily based on
observing that people use category references in talk, but more importantly in treating members category
work as occurring within the inextricably entwined mutually elaborate relationship of (multi-layered)
categorial and sequential methods in multiple orders of ordinary action. Hester and Eglin's reconsideration
of Sacks' signal commentaries on categorisation work was ground-breaking for its reinvigoration of a
categorial focused analysis of naturally occurring interaction grounded within and through the examination
of empirical materials. This was not only focused on talk and interaction but was also open to the full range
of members category work wherever it could be captured for analysis. The emergence of novel interactional
domains, inclusive of those situationally configured and locally accomplished in and through video
mediated platforms, immersive and augmented environments, social media, and voice enabled assistants,
has brought these considerations into the foreground in recent years. At the same time a transformation in
approaches to the analysis of audio, video and other materials remains relevant and work in progress.

Call for Papers:
A major publisher has expressed interest in this volume and has invited us to submit a full proposal and so
at this stage we invite contributions from both established scholars and early career researchers for this
collection. Initial applications of interest should include name and affiliation, contact details, proposed title,
and indicative references together with an initial 750-word outline which situates the proposed analysis at
the forefront of MC research highlighting the innovation in phenomenon under examination and/or
innovation in the analysis and its contribution to the MCA approach. It is envisaged that Chapters will be
approximately 8000 words in length and will be subject to peer review.
Informal inquires welcome and outlines should be forwarded for consideration by 1 of May 2022 to the
following e-mail address:

Title:
On the multimodal nature of turn-taking: The interplay of talk, gaze and gesture in the coordination of turn transitions

Note: the talk will be given by the first author; the second author will be in attendance and will join in the discussion; the third author will be with us in spirit.

Date: Thursday 12th May 2022
Time: 2.30pm-4.00pm (UK time)
Place: Zoom (please see our site to register for the talk)

Abstract
Turn-taking is a fundamental and universal feature of conversation. A central question in research on turn-taking is how speakers recognize the points of possible turn completion where transitions occur. Over the last 50 years, a cumulative body of research in conversation analysis (CA) has investigated turn-taking through naturalistic observation and rigorous qualitative description, identifying the precise linguistic cues that signal the relevance of transition. In the CA model of turn-taking, visible bodily actions play a minimal role. Quantitative research outside the CA tradition has, however, argued that visual cues are in fact central to the organization of turn-taking, but these studies have tended to employ relatively coarse measures that lack the emic validity required by CA. In this talk, we begin to reconcile these disparate strands of research and present new quantitative evidence for the role that gaze and gesture play in the organization of turn-taking. The data come from a corpus of dyadic conversations in which participants wore eye-tracking glasses for direct measurement of their gaze while they were also recorded by multiple cameras for a fine-grained analysis of their gestures. Combining quantitative and conversation-analytic methods, we show how the direction of a speaker’s gaze and the temporal organization of their gestures influence the relevance of transition between speakers. The findings, we will argue, demonstrate the fundamentally multimodal nature of the human turn-taking system and bring us one step closer to a model of turn-taking in which visible bodily actions play a central role.

Presenter’s bio
Kobin H. Kendrick is a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at the University of York. His research uses conversation analysis, at times combined with quantitative methods, to investigate basic organizations of social interaction such as turn-taking, action-sequencing, and repair. A recent line of research, conducted with Paul Drew, has examined the organization of assistance in interaction and identified linguistic and embodied methods by which participants recruit assistance.

Sue Fletcher-Watson (University of Edinburgh)

Conference Theme: 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.

Deadlines:

- Deadline for panel proposals: 15 June 2022

- Contributions to accepted panels and submissions for posters and lectures must be sent in by 1 November 2022

Submission Details:

-Panel proposals (deadline 15 June 2022) have to consist of a brief outline (min. 250 and max. 500 words) of the theme and purpose of the panel, with a first indication of the people the organizer(s) intend(s) to encourage to participate. Panel organizers are asked to avoid restricting their panels to an in-group; therefore, the outline should at the same time serve as a call for papers, inviting others to submit proposals for contributions. Within three weeks after the deadline the conference committee will, on the basis of the outline (weighed against other proposals in relation to the total number of available time slots), decide whether the proposal is accepted. The organizer(s) of an accepted panel is/are free to decide on suitable contributions to their panel, inviting colleagues to submit proposals and selecting from spontaneously submitted ones. Not all panels need to take the same form; some may work with sessions that emphasize discussion; others may want to fit in more (brief) oral presentations; the minimum number of presentations planned for one 90-minute session, however, should be three; the maximum number of 90-minute sessions for a panel is five.

-Abstracts for lectures and posters (min. 250 and max. 500 words) should be submitted before 1 November 2022. It is the individual submitter’s choice to submit for oral presentation (lecture) or a poster. Oral presentations are for (nearly) completed research, for which 30-minute slots will be available (including discussion time and time for moving between sessions). Posters are suitable for work in progress and/or work that requires personal feedback, and these will be up for the whole week; during one of the conference days, there is a poster period during which all other conference activities are blocked so that attention goes exclusively to looking at and discussing posters. IPrA actively encourages the submission of posters; experience tells us that this format can generate serious interaction and result in lasting and fruitful contacts.
