Meeting Description:

Le colloque IMPEC, organisé par le laboratoire ICAR Lyon, portera sur un champ de recherche émergent : les interactions entre individus à travers les écrans. L’objectif du colloque est de poser les bases de ce champ de recherche contemporain et novateur, mais également de l’inscrire dans la durée en renouvelant cet événement tous les deux ans, afin de faire état des progrès de la recherche.

Ce colloque s’inscrit dans la lignée des travaux en sciences du langage initiés depuis 1995 par le Journal of Computer Mediated Communication dirigé par Susan Herring (USA) et en France par Jacques Anis avec son ouvrage en 1999, Internet, communication et langue française. 
Depuis cette période, les recherches en sciences du langage sur ces nouveaux corpus médiés par la technologie ont surtout porté sur leurs aspects exploitables dans des situations d’enseignement-apprentissage, si l’on en juge par le déséquilibre qui existe entre le nombre de colloques et de revues qui traitent des aspects éducatifs ou non.

L’objectif de ce colloque est de pallier le déficit d’occasions de débats scientifiques centrés sur les pratiques socio-relationnelles de la vie quotidienne. Il prend date du fait que de nouvelles approches apparaissent, davantage centrées sur l’écran que sur la technologie au sens large (Lancien, 2011).
 De façon récente, le paysage des communications numériques s’est en effet transformé et diversifié : c’est au travers de multiples écrans aux formats variés (téléphone mobile, tablette numérique, ordinateur, téléviseur) que s’effectuent des interactions de plus en plus multimodales. L’écran peut aussi être focus du regard du locuteur (en particulier dans des situations de travail en régie ou de video-surveillance) donnant ainsi lieu à des interactions complexes par et sur l’écran.

Le colloque interrogera les spécificités sémio-linguistiques et sociolinguistiques de même que les pratiques interactionnelles qui se déroulent par écran en tenant compte des contraintes techniques qui les configurent. C’est en effet à partir d’affordances (Gibson, 1979) propres à chaque outil de communication que ces pratiques s’exercent : par exemple, utiliser des abréviations pour écrire un texto, intégrer le décalage temporel dans une interaction par visioconférence poste à poste, adopter certaines stratégies scripturales pour écrire un tweet en 140 caractères, gérer les faces dans la rédaction d’un courriel multi-adressé.

This colloquium is in keeping with research in linguistics which began in 1995 with the publication of the Journal of Computer Mediated Communication directed by Susan Herring (USA) and in 1999 with the book Internet communication et langue française by Jacques Anis (France). Over the last 15 years or so, linguistic research on new corpora mediated by technology has focused mainly on teaching/learning situations, judging from the overwhelming majority of conferences and publications dealing with the educational aspects of this research, less interest has been given to the socio-relational considerations of this type of communication.

Indeed, the July 2014 colloquium seeks to provide opportunities for scientific debate centred on the socio-relational practices of everyday life.  It is true that new approaches are now devoting greater interest to screen-to-screen communication rather than the technology itself (Lancien, 2011). Recently, the digital communication landscape has undergone considerable change and has diversified with growing multimodal interactions made possible through various formats such as mobile phones, digital tablets, computers and television. The speaker focuses his/her attention on the screen especially during situations in control rooms or video surveillance, thus giving rise to complex interactions through and on the screen.

The conference will examine semiolinguistic and sociolinguistic specificities as well as interactional practices that occur through the use of screen-based communication taking into account their inherent technical constraints.  Depending on the affordances of each communication tool (Gibson, 1979), specific practices develop naturally : for example, using abbreviations to write a text message, incorporating the time lag in interactions with peer-to-peer video conferencing, resorting to certain writing strategies to write a tweet in 140 characters and managing faces when writing a multi-addressed email.

2nd Call for Papers:

Topic proposals could include (but are not limited to):

- Multiple speaker interactions (2 or more) through different communication tools used simultaneously
- Human-machine interactions
- The use of different semiotic tools (gestures, writing, speech, emoticons…) induced by complex tools (eg. Skype)
- Digital identity, its co-construction, game-like/ludic aspects, its inconsistency with the real world (''IRL'', avatars, etc.)
- Interaction features based on each tool (for example, the choice of recipient ratification on FB or in emails); the construction and maintenance of participatory frameworks which are fragile, asymmetrical and fragmented (for example technical interruptions or multitasking in peer-to-peer video conferencing)
- Language renewal (lexis, syntax, morphosyntax)
- The difficulty of learning how to use and adapting to a new tool and resulting sources of interactional complications
- Online interaction regulation (moderation, netiquette, conflict resolution, politeness)

Over and above the field of linguistics, researchers from disciplines such as sociology, psychology, geography, information and communication sciences are directly concerned by this unique opportunity to pool and share research experience.
