students working on naturally-occurring data within the broad area
of language and social interaction. We welcome abstracts from
colleagues using a variety of discourse analytic approaches that
include but are not limited to conversation analysis,
interactional sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and
critical discourse analysis. Abstracts should be no longer than
250 words with a 50 word summary and should include descriptions
of the following aspects of the study: (1) problem(s) being
addressed; (2) central claim(s); (3) data source(s) and analytic
approach(es); (4) implication(s) of the findings. Papers will be
presented within a 15-minute slot with an additional ten minutes
for discussion.</p>
