Details:
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce that our next LANSI Advanced Studies Virtual Workshop, "Grammar and Interaction: Exploring Offers of Assistance/Contribution," will be facilitated by Barbara Fox from University of Colorado Boulder and Alexandra Gubina from University of Mannheim. This limited-space, hands-on virtual workshop is designed for participants with an existing background in conversation analysis. There will be approximately 5 hours of pre-workshop assignments.
Should you register for the workshop, you will receive an email confirming your successful registration or waitlist status. Given the limited space, we ask that you only sign up if you are certain of your participation and inform us ASAP if you are unable to attend after receiving the confirmation email. Note that the workshop will be recorded for internal use only.

Abstract:
This workshop offers advanced training in the study of grammar and interaction. Using a corpus of video-recorded joint activities in American English, collected during the early months of the pandemic, we will focus on refinements in: skills of multi-modal analysis using video-taped interactions, developing new and interesting research questions, building collections, grounding analytical claims in evidence in the data, and formulating enticing research findings. For the purposes of the workshop, we will take as our case study the grammatical resources used in the data for offering to do some practical action within the activity the participants are involved in.
Pre-homework for the workshop will involve looking through transcripts and video-recordings from the corpus to identify which kinds of grammatical practices are used in the data and what kinds of distinct types of offers they might be used to implement. Participants will bring those initial observations to the workshop and we will explore them in greater detail, with an eye to refining research skills in studying how social actions are shaped by, and shape, grammatical practices in talk-in-interaction.
Speakers' Bios:
Barbara Fox is Professor Emerita Barbara Fox is Professor Emerita in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Colorado Boulder. She has been exploring the complex relationships among grammar and interaction for the last 40 years, and has published studies on a wide range of topics in that area. Her recent work includes studies of request formulation at a shoe repair shop (with Trine Heinemann), the uses of ‘should I’ and ‘do you want me to’ in joint activities (with Alexandra Gubina and Chase Raymond), and formats for proposals for joint actions (with Sandra Thompson and Chase Raymond).
Alexandra Gubina is an early career scholar, having submitted her dissertation and about to embark on a postdoc at the Pragmatics Department at the Leibniz-Institute for the German Language at the University of Mannheim, Germany. In her research, she uses multimodal Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics to examine how specific grammatical practices are deployed in the service of accomplishing social actions in talk-in-interaction. Her main interest lies in the action formation of recruitment-related actions, as well as multifunctionality and action ascription in the case of grammatical formats typically associated with such actions.
