THE 13TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE, INTERACTION, AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION

The conference addresses topics at the intersection of language,
interaction, and culture from theoretical perspectives that employ
data from recorded, spontaneous interaction. This includes, but is not
limited to, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnography of
communication, ethnomethodology, and interactional sociolinguistics.
We welcome abstracts from graduate students and faculty working in the
areas of Anthropology, Applied Linguistics, Education, Linguistics,
Psychology, and Sociology. Speakers will have 20 minutes for
presentation and 10 minutes for discussion.
