<div dir="ltr">Hi Rebecca, thanks for the thoughtful reply.

These are great, thanks everyone. It does seem that there's little empirical analysis of actual h-r interactions, as in straight-up discourse analysis. Some context, and to partially address Eleanor's comment about what is even the point of all this...<div><br></div><div>I'm also an anthropologist working in tech, specifically software design. For me, the outcome of having better analysis of human-robot interaction means, possibly, better robot design, that accounts for reality of behavior and culture. If ling anths want to understand human sociality and interaction, why exclude machines (not just robots) from that analysis? We interact with them constantly, and those interactions are specifically and very thoughtfully designed, designs which rely on all kinds of ideologies about language and communication. </div><div><br></div><div>Linguistic anthropologists and discourse analysts need to do a better job communicating with interaction designers. We can't stop the robots but we might be able to influence how they're built to interact with us.
