The Symposium is organized as part of the Institute’s activities on spoken Greek and in the context of the research project Greek Talk-in-interaction and Conversation Analysis. The topic of this year’s Symposium is Questions-answers in Greek Talk-in-interaction. The aim of the Symposium is to examine systematically aspects of this nuclear sequence in Greek talk-in-interaction both in everyday conversations and in more institutional settings. Moreover, this year’s Symposium will host a session on questions-answers in other languages, so that discussion of the Greek data can be set in the cross-linguistic perspective of talk-in-interaction. The keynote speaker of the Symposium will be Professor Marja-Leena Sorjonen (University of Helsinki), Director of the Finnish Center of Excellence in Intersubjectivity and Interaction. The following topics (not exclusive) will be of interest: -form/structure of questions/answers -functions associated with particular forms/structures -formal features (morpho-syntactic, prosodic, etc.) of questions and their impact on answers -preference organization in the question-answer sequence -the design of questions/answers and the acts accomplished -distribution of epistemic rights and kinds of acts -stances (perspective, subjectivity, etc.) indexed by particular forms of questions/answers -the multimodality of the question-answer sequence (gestures, nods, gaze, etc.) -the impact of the broader context (e.g., everyday conversation, research interview, etc. vs. TV-discussion or -interview) on the design of the question-answer sequence -interpersonal issues (politeness, impoliteness, face threats, etc.) All theoretical approaches to the study of talk-in-interaction are welcome; however, due to the specific frame of the Symposium, priority will be given to papers adopting a Conversation Analysis perspective. In any case, the basic requirement for paper acceptance is that the analysis and findings be grounded on empirical data drawn from tape-/video-recordings of naturally occurring talk. 2nd Symposium on the Greek Language in Spoken Communication 2016-10-14Z 2457675.5 Symposium 2016-05-10T08:47:53Z 2457518.8665857 Symposium Questions answers in Greek Talk in interaction 0 1 icalendar 3 [[Category:Announcements]] [[AnnShortTitle::Greek lang symposium]] Symposium Questions answers in Greek Talk in interaction
