| International Meeting on Conversation Analysis & Clinical Encounters 2024 + | : At the CA&CE meetings, attendees share current research findings and debate methodological issues in the application of conversation analytic methods to communication in health care settings. CA&CE is an inclusive event where active participation, sharing, collaborations and cross-disciplinary discussions are fostered and encouraged. Days one and two of the meeting feature plenary talks by research leaders in the field and showcase different applied CA studies via individual or team presentations. Each oral presentation slot is 15 mins – 10 mins for talk and 5 mins for questions/discussion. There are also opportunities to participate in 90 minute small group data sessions working with a wide variety of health communication data. The programme for the final day features plenary talks and oral presentations and traditionally focuses on how our research can best connect with the interests and experiences of clinicians, patients/companions and clinical educators, aiming to foster productive interaction and collaboration. Anyone with an interest in communication in health care is welcome to attend. Abstract submission: The deadline for oral presentation and data session submissions has now passed.

| International Pragmatics Association Conference 2023 + | '''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. + |
| International Summer Institute for Interactional Linguistics 2022 + | International Summer Institute for Interactional Linguistics * July 18-23, 2022 * Leibniz-Institute for the German Language, Mannheim (Germany) Facilitators: * Emma Betz, University of Waterloo, Canada * Elwys De Stefani, University of Heidelberg, Germany, & KU Leuven, Belgium * Arnulf Deppermann, Leibniz-Institute for the German Language, Mannheim, Germany * Barbara A. Fox, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA * Chase Raymond, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA * Jörg Zinken, Leibniz-Institute for the German Language, Mannheim, Germany Local organizers: Arnulf Deppermann & Alexandra Gubina Given a rapidly growing number of scholars interested in the topics of Grammar & Interaction, especially from a cross-linguistic perspective, we are offering a 6-day institute for Interactional Linguistics (IL) designed to equip participants with analytic methods and strategies that can be applied to a wide range of CA/IL research projects in different languages. This institute is intended for scholars who have some prior experience (i.e., have at least received some prior formal training) in Conversation Analysis / Interactional Linguistics. This includes graduate and post-doctoral researchers as well as established scholars who have already published CA/IL work and would like to obtain new skills in the given area. The course will be limited to 24 participants to allow intensive data work and individualized interaction with the six facilitators. The training will be based on video-recorded interactional data from English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish and Russian. The data will be provided by the facilitators. Each day of the institute will consist of: # a plenary talk by one of the facilitators # a data session on fundamental topics of CA/IL (e.g., turn construction and turn-taking, repair, sequence organization, preference, action formation and ascription). These data sessions will be based on English-language video-recorded data; # a project session in which a small group of participants will be working on a specific interactional phenomenon in one or more languages listed above. During the six days of the institute, each group is going to form and revise a collection in their language, develop a research question etc. The results of the project work will be presented on the last day of the Institute; # homework assignments that small groups complete together after hours for the next day; Registration The cost of the institute is €280 EUR for unsalaried (post)graduates without training budgets and €420 EUR for salaried researchers. This cost includes course materials, a Certificate of Attendance, and light refreshments for the six days. It does not include main meals, accommodation, and transportation. Due to the limited number of participants, attendance will be based on an application process. Applicants should contact Alexandra Gubina (gubina@ids-mannheim.de) and send (i) a description of their prior CA-related work and experience (training, i.e., workshops, courses; knowledge of transcription conventions and transcribing experience; work on research projects; theses and publications; max. 1 page), (ii) the topic of their Ph.D. project, which language(s) and language varieties they are working on as well as the name(s) of their advisor(s) and (iii) a PDF-version of their curriculum vitae, including information on their language skills. Application deadline is January 21, 2022. Applicants will be notified of their participation status by February 17, 2022. COVID-19 pandemic We anticipate that in light of the current pandemic situation around the world, it has become difficult, if not impossible for most of us to make any long-term plans. However, we still encourage everyone interested in participating to send us an application. Since the Summer Institute will be organized as an on-site event, payment will not be due until we are sure that traveling is safe. Furthermore, as we are applying for additional financial support, the fees mentioned above may be decreased. All the applicants will be notified about any changes regarding the cost/format of the Summer Institute by early 2022. For inquiries and further information, please contact Alexandra Gubina (gubina@ids-mannheim.de). + |
| International Symposium on (Un)cooperative behaviour + | While cooperation is central to social interaction, it is hard to deny that uncooperative behaviour is also common in everyday life and plays an important role in various interactional settings, as in family interactions (Frankenberg, 1979; Vuchinich, 1990), therapeutic discourse (Labov & Fanshel, 1977), army training (Culpeper, 1996), courtrooms (Heritage & Clayman, 2011: ch. 4; Lakoff, 1989; Penman, 1990), news interviews (Clayman & Heritage, 2002), mediation (Deppermann, 1997; Nothdurft, 1996; Spranz-Fogasy, 1986), and political discussions (Heritage & Clayman, 2011: ch. 5; Luginbühl, 1999). In this 3-day symposium, we will approach the study of (un-)cooperative behaviour in social interaction with the methods and perspective of conversation analysis and interactional linguistics (CA/IL). Within these research areas, cooperation is treated as advancing the initiated course of action and “collaborating with the agenda being pursued by the prior speaker” (Clayman, 2002: 231). Thus, uncooperative or discordant actions halt the progression of the launched course of action and resist the prior speaker’s agenda or project (Levinson, 2013) or the normative order and expectations in a particular environment in general, thereby violating social solidarity (Clayman, 2002). We will seek to (i) identify different types of uncooperative behaviour in mundane and institutional talk-in-interaction, (ii) uncover how and which interactional factors contribute to our situated understanding of an action as cooperative versus uncooperative, and (iii) discover hitherto undescribed practices for different kinds of discordant actions in social interaction and the ways in which participants respond to them. The proposed sessions and discussions will centre around the following topics: (1) Linguistic and embodied practices related to (un-)cooperative behaviour (2) Conflictual talk and disaffiliative actions in mundane interaction (3) The complexity of (dis-)affiliative and (un-)cooperative responses (4) Uncooperative behaviour as ‘violence’ (5) Conceptualization of (un-)cooperative behaviour and related concept Online participation is possible. No registration fees. Find more info on the symposium, a list of attending speakers & the registration link here: https://www.ids-mannheim.de/aktuell/veranstaltungen/kolloquien/2024/symposium/ + |
| International Winter School 2025 + | '''Organizers:''' Alexandra Gubina and Uwe-Alexander Küttner (Pragmatics Department, Leibniz-Institute for the German Language, Mannheim) '''Facilitators:''' Emma Betz (University of Waterloo) Arnulf Deppermann (IDS Mannheim) Barbara A. Fox (University of Colorado, Boulder) Elliott M. Hoey (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) Lorenza Mondada (University of Basel) Florence Oloff (IDS Mannheim) Simona Pekarek Doehler (Université de Neuchâtel) Chase Wesley Raymond (University of Colorado, Boulder) Jörg Zinken (IDS Mannheim) '''Venue:''' Leibniz-Institute for the German Language, Mannheim '''Date(s):''' 17-19 February, 2025 '''Number of participants:''' max. 30 participants There are various analytic pathways for research within Conversation Analysis (CA) and Interactional Linguistics (IL): One can start with a specific '''social action''' and focus, e.g., on how that specific action can be accomplished in a particular language or across different languages. Commonly, such inquiries begin with actions like requests and instructions (e.g., Curl and Drew 2008; Deppermann 2018; Drew and Couper-Kuhlen 2014; Fox and Heinemann 2016, 2017; Gubina 2021; Mondada 2014; Rossi 2012; Zinken 2016), offers (e.g., Curl 2006; Mandelbaum & Lerner 2023; Mondada 2023; Raymond et al. 2021), proposals (e.g., Thompson et al. 2021), and assessments (e.g., Mondada 2009; Thompson et al. 2015), to mention just a few. Another common strategy is to begin with a '''(linguistic) form''' (Couper-Kuhlen & Selting 2001, 2018; Fox 2007), i.e., a recurrent (semi-)linguistic format on different levels of granularity used for accomplishing specific social actions in interaction. Studies focusing on social action formats usually examine various actions that can be carried out with a specific linguistic form (e.g., Betz 2008; Betz et al. 2021; Couper-Kuhlen 2014; Deppermann and Gubina 2021; Gubina 2022; Gubina & Betz 2021; Hoey et al. 2021; Hoey 2022; Küttner 2019, 2020; Oloff 2017, 2018; Pekarek Doehler et al. 2015; Pekarek Doehler 2019; Rossi and Zinken 2016; Raymond 2017). Studies may also begin '''elsewhere''', including, e.g., starting with some interactional "task" or "problem" (like in the field of recruitments; Floyd et al. 2020; Kendrick/Drew 2016), the negotiation of deontic rights (Stevanovic 2013), or the use of embodied resources, such as gaze (Rossano 2012) or facial expressions (Groß et al. 2024; Kaukomaa et al. 2014) - again, to name just a few. While these different approaches are well-recognized and established in CA and IL research, there is still little methodological discussion of what uniquely characterizes each of them. This Winter School therefore aims at promoting methodological reflections on these different approaches and the concrete analytic decisions and procedures they involve. We envisage an international 3-day workshop, dedicating one full day to practical engagement with each of the aforementioned research strategies: (1) starting with form(s) (Day 1), (2) starting with action(s) (Day 2), (3) starting elsewhere (e.g., an interactional task/problem/outcome, features of the context/setting, identities, etc.) (Day 3). The school will focus on methodological reflections concerning each of these different approaches, their pros and cons, typical problems, pitfalls, and analytic decisions one is likely to face when choosing one or the other, as well as offering possible solutions for these issues. This should provide early-career researchers (ECRs) with a clearer sense and a greater sensitivity for how the starting point they choose for their investigations may shape the trajectory of the analytic process further down the road. The participants will be divided into groups according to the languages they speak/can work with (we are expecting German, English, and French groups). Each group will be given a data set in the respective language, which will be prepared by the facilitators, and which will be used throughout the entirety of the workshop. In addition, there will be opportunities for participants to contribute and work with their own data (if available). The idea is that the participants locate a phenomenon of interest and then approach it by starting with a specific form (Day 1), a particular action (Day 2), or from a different angle altogether (e.g., a specific interactional task/problem/outcome, a sequential slot, identity work, etc.) (Day 3). To enable us to better guide this process, we envisage there to be a common focal anchor point for the duration of the workshop that will allow participants to try out different approaches with respect to a common overarching theme—namely, ‘Mobilizing others’. Each day will consist of * a plenary talk giving an overview of steps, procedures, and recurrent problems of a specific point of departure/approach, * intense analytic group work with facilitators, and * discussion of the problems that the participants find themselves facing with each approach. The workshop is designed for ECRs engaged in their own initial CA/IL projects who seek guidance, collaborative reflection on the methodological implications of their decisions, and learning about alternative approaches and possible solutions to recurrent problems. The number of participants is capped to 30 to ensure an intensive scientific exchange and an informal atmosphere. '''Registration''' The total cost of the International Winter School is 200 EUR for unsalaried (post)graduates and 250 EUR for salaried researchers. This cost includes course materials, a Certificate of Attendance, light refreshments for coffee breaks, as well as lunch. It does not include breakfast and dinner, accommodation, or travel. Due to the limited number of available spaces, participation will be decided via an application process. Applications must be submitted to '''winterschool_CA_IL(at)ids-mannheim.de''' and contain the following information, in a single PDF-file (max. 3 pages): * a description of your prior CA/IL-related work, experience (training, knowledge of transcription conventions, project work, theses, publications, etc.) as well as the name(s) of supervisor(s) * the topic of your PhD-project (or any other project you are currently working on) * a concise curriculum vitae The application deadline is '''19 August 2024'''.

| JCASP-CFP-2026 + | Yarong Xie and Sue Widdicombe are seeking contributions to a Special Issue on Making Others' Misconduct Matter in the Public Sphere for the Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology. Our aim is to collect papers which broadly examine how third parties such as the public, social media users or institutions, manage, dispute, judge, excuse, and respond to allegations of misconduct in the public realm. Would you or your colleagues be interested in submitting a paper? If so, we’d be delighted to hear from you! We would also appreciate you forwarding this to anyone you think may be interested. More details about the issue can be found on the Journal's website: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/10991298/homepage/call-for-papers/si-2025-001165 Please do get in touch with Yarong or Sue (s.widdicombe@ed.ac.uk) if you have questions or would like more information. With best wishes Sue ----- Call for Papers Making Others Misconduct Matter In The Public Sphere Submission deadline: Thursday, 30 April 2026 Rationale of the Special Issue We invite submissions for a Special Issue devoted to examining how third parties manage, dispute, judge, excuse, and respond to allegations of misconduct in the public realm. We do so in recognition of the burgeoning exposure of misconduct in the news and on social media, which seems to trigger a multitude of responses and debate from members of the public or institutions of which they are members. For instance, the public responds to racist and sexual misconduct made by officers in the force, or social media users debate high-profile cases such as the murder of George Floyd, and Prince Andrew and the Epstein Scandal. ‘Third parties’ may thus refer to the public, social media users, and representatives of organisations. Misconduct per se invites questions and judgements about the transgressor’s morality, character, and motive. It also calls for resolution and justice, especially from institutions in which the parties are members and wider society. Once misconduct is made public in the news or on social media, judgment about the incident and its transgressor/s is also opened up for public views and debate. By responding to the misconduct, the third party treats themselves as having a right to judge and react. This transforms the social and news media into a social court in which justice/injustice is negotiated publicly. Moreover, these third party’s responses reach a large audience and can inspire and fuel further actions from the protagonists, their affiliated organisations, and/or law enforcement bodies. For social psychologists, these public responses raise important questions on attitude, morality, accountability, interpersonal and intergroup relations, trust, and more. Addressing these questions through the viewpoints of the third party, in the public realm, also allows us to evaluate and position socio-psychological sciences in a world that is digitalising and globalising. It is against this backdrop that we call for contributions that explore the third party’s responses to misconduct in the public domain, including their nature, how they are done in practice, how ratified or challenged, and their consequences. We welcome contributions that examine a range of aspects of the third party’s responses to misconduct. We invite articles from around the world, recognising the important role of the public voice and opinions, the growing communications that take place in the public sphere and online, and an urge to seek solutions for social problems. The kind of questions and topics that we are interested include, but are not restricted to: Topics of interest How third parties (e.g., social media users, news reporters and/or commentators, and institutional spokespersons) respond to and/or debate the instances of misconduct How third parties formulate their views, opinions, and reactions toward misconduct The structure, organisation, and consequences of responses to misconduct Attributions of blame, accountability, and morality to transgressors or institutions Case studies or comparative investigations of third-party responses across platforms Guest Editors: Dr. Sue Widdicombe The University of Edinburgh United Kingdom Dr. Yarong Xie Newcastle University United Kingdom Keywords: harassment; misconduct; wrongdoing + |

Title: One Type of Polar, Information-Seeking Question and its Stance of Probability: Implications for the Preference for Agreement Abstract: There is little doubt that Sacks’ (1987) notion of the 'preference for agreement' is generally valid. However, that it is valid does not tell us how it is valid. This article further unpacks the preference for agreement by conversation-analytically grounding one of its many underlying mechanisms. Specifically, this article examines the practice of formatting an action – in this case, a type of information seeking – as a positively formatted polar interrogative without polarity items (e.g., Did you go fishing?). This article demonstrates that doing so enacts a speaker stance that the question's proposed state of affairs (e.g., that the recipient went fishing) is probable, and thus that a response is more likely to constitute affirmation than disaffirmation. Additionally, this article demonstrates the preference-organizational effects of such formatting on some aspects of response construction. Data are gathered from videotapes of unstructured, face-to-face conversations, included 289 interrogatives, and are in American English. + |

| Job Opening: Researcher in Ethnomethodology and Video analysis Gothenburg 2017 + | "Researcher in Ethnomethodology and Video analysis” The researcher will be working with Professor Barry Brown in Stockholm, and Dr. Oskar Lindwall at the University of Gothenburg as part of the Wallenberg foundation funded “Online instructional videos and learning of practical skills” project. This project focuses on understanding online video instruction and the learning of manual skills. The project’s main purpose is to investigate how instructional videos are used as well as the social and material context. The researcher hired on the project will conduct video analysis of the videos themselves to identify how video can be used to learn new skills and tasks, how instruction can take place without a teacher being present, and the problems or confusions that can arise. Fieldwork will be conducted by combining interviews, field studies and quasi-naturalistic video-observations to investigate the production, distribution and use of online instructional videos in non-institutional settings. The researcher working on the project should conduct ethnomethodological and conversation analysis of the instruction action through which participants attempt to follow instructions in situ. + |

| Job PhD Explainable AI for Enabling Repair of Talk with Conversational Agents + | '''Microsoft Research PhD Scholarship - Explainable AI for Enabling Repair of Talk with Conversational Agents''' We are recruiting a PhD student to carry out research in partnership with Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK. Preferred candidates are expected to have a background in either Machine Learning (e.g., natural language processing) or Human-Computer Interaction (e.g., ethnographic user research), with an interest and ability to learn the other. The candidate should demonstrate an enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research bridging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Conversation Analysis. The candidate should be interested in both the development of novel Machine Learning models, as well as their implementation and evaluation in user-centred interactive systems. This PhD will aim to create goal-directed natural language agents which can interact more effectively with humans by making the agents reasoning more transparent, or explainable, to the user. This can include many different aspects of reasoning, such as "why did you say that?", "what else were you considering saying?", "how confident are you of that?", "how can I correct only one aspect of your understanding without starting from scratch?", etc. The PhD would explore ways to provide this transparency in ways that are natural to the user, and do not interfere with the interaction.To this end the PhD would build on the fact that, as competent human conversationalists, users can adapt a range of repair practices routinely deployed in everyday talk (as extensively documented by Conversation Analysis) and in a limited sense can correct agents by noticing trouble and attempting to repair them through subsequent repetition and rephrasing. The PhD would develop ways for agents to both detect, and make use of such natural language ‘repair’ practices in order to facilitate more natural and more effective communication with human users. This fully-funded PhD programme offers the unique opportunity to work with a supervision team of researchers at Microsoft (Nate Kushman, Kenton O’Hara and Sean Rintel) and academics at the University of Nottingham (Joel Fischer and Stuart Reeves) for up to four years, funded by EPSRC and Microsoft. The candidate will benefit from a travel and equipment budget and the possibility to do an internship at Microsoft Research in Cambridge as part of the PhD. The students will benefit from: *A fully-funded four-year PhD programme in a leading-edge research project. *A potential internship with Microsoft Research. * An enhanced stipend of £19,000 per annum as well as a personal laptop and additional resources for travel and equipment to support your study. *A world class research environment with a proven track record of successful graduates. We have funding for UK/Home and EU students, and the minimum entry requirement is a 2.1 undergraduate degree and English language IELTS average score of 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any element. Application should be made online at https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/pgstudy/how-to-apply/apply-online.aspx with a detailed CV, transcript, references and a statement of research interests (personal statement). Please quote ref SCI1818. Closing date: 30 June 2018. Start date: between 1 October 2018 and 1 February 2019 (flexible).

| LANSI 2020 + | UPDATE: Dear Colleagues: After receiving multiple inquiries regarding whether we would consider a remote conference this year given COVID-19, our organizing committee has reached the difficult decision early this morning that a zoom conference would be the antithesis of LANSI's trademark of enabling deep conversations in an intimate environment. Our plan, instead, is to postpone the conference till late May 2021 (specific dates TBA: mostly likely 22-23 or 28-29). With that, we would also extend the deadline for our CfP to Dec. 31, 2020--the final day of this very, very unusual year . We hope we're making the right call, and we're hopeful that this will be a conference worth waiting for. It's our 10th anniversary after all.🎈 Till we see each other again--in our full dimensions, Hansun ———— The 10th annual meeting of The Language and Social Interaction Working Group(LANSI) Teachers College, Columbia University New York City October 9-10 (Fri & Sat), 2020 INVITED LECTURES by Douglas Maynard, Marjorie Goodwin, and Adam Hodges WORKSHOPS with Alexa Hepburn and Galina Bolden PANEL DISCUSSION with Bolden, Goodwin, Hepburn, Hodges, and Maynard CALL FOR PROPOSALS LANSI brings together scholars and students working on naturally-occurring data within the broad area of language and social interaction.
