<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Theme: “Encounter and Interface”</b></span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The LISO conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion in the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will be presented by national and international
scholars on a variety of topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture. The papers primarily employ analysis of naturally occurring data drawing from methodologies that include conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnographic methods, ethnomethodology,
interactional linguistics, and interactional sociolinguistics. The conference theme this year is “Encounter and Interface”. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Encounter” and “interface” here are both broadly defined and inextricably connected. Encounters, ranging from interactions between individual speakers to the intermingling of distinct
linguistic and cultural systems, now occur through various contexts, both face-to-face and digitally-mediated. How are the ideological underpinnings of these encounters manifested and re-shaped in everyday interaction? How is online language and culture shaping–
and being shaped by – the norms of face-to-face communication?</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Presentations related to the conference theme may include but are not limited to: </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* blending of communicative interfaces (e.g., how is online interaction talked about in face-to-face conversation, or vice versa?)</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* reciprocal influences between types of literacy (e.g., digital, classroom, etc.)</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* the influence of technology on student agency in the classroom and at home</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* how social media challenges traditional understandings of interaction</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* technology as a language-learning resource</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* the role of embodiment in interaction (face-to-face and online)</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* interaction in virtual worlds</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* construction(s) of identity through online and face-to-face interaction</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* socialization into new cultural and linguistic systems</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* examinations of how interaction and language in use reveal power dynamics between speakers of varying genders, sexualities, and abilities, or ethnoracial, class, national, and
linguistic backgrounds </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although submissions based on the conference theme will be particularly welcome, innovative work on all aspects of language and interaction will be considered.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We welcome abstracts from undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty working in the areas of Anthropology, Applied Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Communication, Digital
Humanities, Education, Ethnic Studies, Feminist Studies, Internet Studies, Literacy Studies, Linguistics, Psychology, and Sociology. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The abstract should include the following: (1) a clear statement of the main point or argument of the paper; (2) a brief discussion of the problem or research question with reference
to previous research and the work's relevance to the area of study; (3) a short piece of data to support the main point or argument; (4) conclusions and/or implications of the research, however tentative.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your presentation relies on a visual representation of data (e.g., video data or screenshots of Internet data), up to three images may be included in your abstract as contributing
data samples.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the case of an abstract longer than 500 words, only the first 500 words will be read. Papers will be selected based on evaluation of the anonymous abstract. </span></div>
