Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 01-Nov-2022 

Meeting Description:

Dating Apps have fundamentally changed the communicative practices of dating
with 270 million adult users of dating apps worldwide in 2020. This panel
brings together studies of textual interaction among dating app users,
analysing in detail the interactional features of these encounters.

Drawing particularly on Conversation Analysis and cognate areas, the panel
explores a diverse but interrelated set of issues describing communicative
practices in online dating. Such issues may involve but are not limited to the
ways that users use location information and orient to place to generate
topics and to organize offline meetings, the negotiation of gender norms and
practices associated with online dating, and the relationship between
education, age, and forms of talk.

The analyses in the panel are expected to pay attention to the distinctive
textual features of these chats, including the role of profile information in
structuring conversations, and/or the use of particular communicative
practices such as emoji. Together, these papers provide an important
advancement on existing studies of face-to-face dating (Korobov 2011; Stokoe
2010; Turowetz & Hollander 2012), and a critical contribution to the small but
growing body of work on online dating and language (Kavroulaki 2021; Licoppe
2020; Mortensen 2017; Thompson 2022), showing how modern technologies are
radically altering the ways that people manage dating.
