The relationships between the analysis of naturally occurring

disciplines

Abstract

Coming together as researchers concerned with the relationships
among language, interaction, and culture, we base our work on the
detailed analysis of naturally occurring discourse.  At the same
time, our work is often situated within academic disciplines which
have historically been concerned with issues such as (but not
limited to) culture, power, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic
structure, and linguistic structure.  For students, the task of
understanding and articulating the links between their detailed
analyses and the issues, theories, and methods of their disciplines
is of critical importance.

Presenters will discuss different standpoints on the relationship
between the analysis of interaction and issues such as those
detailed above.
