<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">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.</p>
