<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">In the second half of the 20<sup>th</sup> century several path-breaking studies in cognitive sciences radically changed our view of categories and categorization. In particular, Eleanor Rosch’s
seminal works on cognitive psychology (1973, 1975) provided a crucial contribution to a theory of categories with the introduction of key notions such as
<i>prototype </i>and <i>basic level. </i>This revolution also provided the main tenets of the cognitive-functional approach in linguistics, based on the notion that language is embodied and integrated within other human cognitive abilities
<a name="Mendeley_Bookmark_lM6h2XjcFP">(Langacker 1987; Lakoff 1987)</a>. Several studies in this field have shown<b>
</b>how language reflects the way speakers of different languages categorize reality in a culture-specific way. Some examples are the well-known studies on color typology
<a name="Mendeley_Bookmark_whyQSggdEW">(Berlin and Kay 1969)</a> or spatial frames of reference
<a name="Mendeley_Bookmark_1HWCekHg8f">(Levinson 2003)</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">More recently,<b>
</b>works by Barsalou <a name="Mendeley_Bookmark_fI9Jw8wESt">(Barsalou </a>1983, 1991, 2003, 2010) have introduced an important divide between
<i>natural</i> (or common) categories on the one hand and <i>ad hoc</i> categories on the other. The first roughly correspond to traditional categories, i.e. context independent intuitions, while the latter respond to the need to categorize reality under particular
contextual circumstances and for a specific purpose. <i>Ad hoc</i> categories are thus involved in the creation of reference to situation-specific objects such as “things I need for a one-month vacation to Alaska” or “magazines you can find in a men’s barber
shop”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">The existing literature on categorization, however, seems to
</span><span lang="EN-GB">consider linguistic phenomena to the extent that </span>
<span lang="EN-US">language <i>reflects</i> categorization</span><span lang="EN-GB"> and provides strategies (mainly lexical ones) to
<i>name </i>categories. </span><span lang="EN-US">According to Croft and Cruse (2004), each time we refer to some concept through a given word, we actively and cooperatively construe<i>
</i>the reference of that word by tailoring it up for the particular context</span><span lang="EN-GB">.</span><span lang="EN-US"> Also, within Relevance Theory lexical semantics has been analyzed in terms of its adaptability to context: according to Wilson
and Carston (2007), words are used as hints towards <i>ad hoc concepts, </i>that is, narrowed or broadened interpretations of the lexical semantics, based on context relevance.<i>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span lang="EN-US">Is <i>naming
</i>the only way in which language works as a categorization tool?</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> The great amount of spoken data nowadays available allows us to check the received theories on categorization against real data on language interaction. In other
words, we are now in the position to ask ourselves how categories are referred to by speakers
<i>interacting in conversation</i>, and even more crucially to what extent <b>categories are</b>
<b>shared, negotiated, co-constructed by speakers.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">The naming of categories may indeed be the aim of an interaction, not necessarily a starting point. What we observe in spoken data is that the use of a lexical category label (i.e. a word, or
a short phrase), though adapted to context, is frequently not enough, and speakers recur to exemplification, reformulation, and further strategies to check for the hearer’s cooperation towards categorization. Let us consider example 1)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i>negating </i>what is outside the category itself (‘not a real chessboard’). After delimiting the borders, the Speaker goes establishing a similarity comparison with an open list of examples (‘more like a large decorated dish, a shield, something like that’),
which are contextually relevant for the abstractive process. She then reformulates the category through a new label, creatively recurring to a word-formation strategy (‘round chessboard-like object’).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Moreover, data on linguistic interaction offer a privileged vantage point on the actual role played by context in determining the speaker’s choice of a specific

<i>procedural strategy </i>(e.g. a list of examples), and in guiding the hearer’s interpretation.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Great cross-linguistic variation is attested in both
<i>naming</i> and <i>procedural </i>categorization strategies (see Mauri 2017, Mauri and Sansò, in preparation). For instance, associative and similative plurals (Daniel and Moravcsik 2013) or echo reduplications (Montaut 2009) are in some languages the default
strategy to convey an abstractive, exemplar-driven categorization process of the type ‘X and similar things’. Given their morphological status, we would expect them to be used as
<i>naming </i>strategies, but their exemplar-driven semantics leans more towards a
<i>procedural use. </i>Moreover, little or no attention has been paid to the actual use of these and other similar strategies in speakers’ interactions<i>.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB">This workshop is organized within the LEAdhoC project, based at the University of Bologna (</span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.leadhoc.org/"><span lang="EN-GB">www.leadhoc.org</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB">).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">In this workshop, we aim to broaden our understanding of language as a tool for categorization in linguistic interaction, by investigating how language-specific grammatical resources are exploited
in conversation to name and create locally meaningful categories, with special attention to
</span><span lang="EN-GB">how this process is rooted in the realtime dimension (see the discussion of temporality in Auer 2009; Günthner and Deppermann 2015; Du Bois 2014; Hopper 2011

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Since, categorization is thought of as a dynamic process in which participants are actively involved, we aim at understanding what linguistic and possibly multi-modal resources are exploited
and what are the pragmatic and conversational effects obtained. In this view, the divide between fully grammatical(ized) strategies encoding reference to a category and more fluid discursive strategies is ideal rather than factual, since grammar is regarded
as the outcome of entrenchment of discursive patterns (cf. </span><span lang="EN-GB">Auer and Pfänder 2011</span><span lang="EN-US">).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">We aim to look at data coming from different languages, examined from complementary perspectives, integrating cognitive and discourse studies, typology and conversational analysis. We further
aim to compare linguistic evidence with experimental evidence, obtained in psychological and psycholinguistic research, to verify the psychological reality of the mechanisms observed in language.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

contributions will be regarded as eligible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
