<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="MS mincho"; ">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 300 words
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) a short piece of
data to support the main argument; (5) implication(s) of the
findings. Please also include a 50-word summary. 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 or 20-minute slot with an
additional 10 or 5 minutes for discussion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="MS mincho";">Deadline for
electronic submission is May 30, 2014. Notification of
acceptance or non-acceptance will be sent via email by July 15,
