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>
