Location: Santa Barbara, CA, USA

Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; Pragmatics; Sociolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 13-Jan-2017 

Meeting Description:

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''.

''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?


Call for Papers:

Presentations related to the conference theme may include but are not limited
to: 

- Blending of communicative interfaces (e.g., how is online interaction talked
about in face-to-face -conversation, or vice versa?)
- Reciprocal influences between types of literacy  (e.g., digital, classroom,
etc.)
- The influence of technology on student agency in the classroom and at home
- How social media challenges traditional understandings of interaction
- Technology as a language-learning resource
- The role of embodiment in interaction (face-to-face and online)
- Interaction in virtual worlds
- Construction(s) of identity through online and face-to-face interaction
- Socialization into new cultural and linguistic systems
- 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 

Although submissions based on the conference theme will be particularly
welcome, innovative work on all aspects of language and interaction will be
considered.

Abstracts must be submitted via email to lisoconference at gmail.com. Author
information, affiliation, and contact information should be submitted in the
body of the email only, with abstract attachments made completely anonymous. 

Please include in your abstract document the title of your poster or
presentation and your preference for poster or presentation session. If you
have a format preference but would like to be considered for both, please
indicate that clearly. Presenters will have 20 minutes for presentation and 10
minutes for discussion. Posters will be displayed during a one-hour poster
session. 

Abstracts must be submitted in .doc, .docx, or .pdf, format only. Abstracts
must be no more than 500 words long and should not include the author's name
or any other identifying information. 

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.

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.

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. 

Abstract submission opens on November 1, 2016. Deadline for electronic
submission and receipt of abstracts is January 13, 2017. Late submissions will
not be accepted. Notification of acceptance or non-acceptance will be sent via
email in early February 2017.
