          LANSI brings together scholars
          and students working on naturally-occurring data within the
          broad area of
          language and social interaction. In keeping with the LANSI
          spirit of diversity
          and dialog, we welcome abstracts from colleagues working on a
          variety of topics
          using 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. Abstracts will be blind-reviewed on the basis of
          clarity,
          specificity, originality, and the inclusion of the required
          components. Papers
          will be presented within a 15-minute slot with an additional
          ten minutes for
          discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
