Meeting Description:

Building on the success of the international conference Sources of knowledge
in talk-in-interaction held in Lugano in 2022 (KNOWINT;
https://www.usi.ch/en/knowint), the bilingual conference Knowledge in
talk-in-interaction (KNOWINT 2023) will take place on 6-8 November 2023 at the
University of Lausanne, Switzerland. The goal of the conference is to explore
further the way knowledge is expressed and negotiated in talk-in-interaction.
The official languages of the conference are French and English.

The full presentation and the call for papers are available here:

Call for Papers:

Invited plenary speakers:
- Arnulf Deppermann (Universität Mannheim) 
- Karolina Grzech (Universitat de València)
- Johanna Miecznikowski (Università della Svizzera italiana)
- Simona Pekarek Doehler (Université de Neuchâtel)

The goal of the conference is to explore further the way knowledge is
expressed and negotiated in talk-in-interaction. The semantic domain of
“epistemicity” (Boye 2012) includes two categories. On the one hand, epistemic
modality encodes the degree of certainty in the information given (e.g. Egan
and Weatherson 2011; Nuyts 2001). On the other hand, evidentiality expresses
the source of that information, whether through direct perception, mediated
hearsay or calculated inference (e.g. Aikhenvald 2004; Dendale and Tasmowski
2001; Squartini 2007). Both dimensions have been studied extensively from a
syntactic and semantic point of view and largely by using mostly invented or
strongly decontextualized examples. 
More recently, and building on the seminal works by Heritage (1984) and
Pomerantz (1984), conversation analysts and interactional linguists have
started examining epistemic stance-taking in interaction from a more pragmatic
perspective. Using collections of naturally occurring interactional data, they
examine the role of epistemic/evidential particles in the formation,
ascription and sequential organization of actions and in the construction and
negotiation of situated identities and social relationships (e.g. Grzech,
Bergqvist, and Schultze-Berndt 2020; Heritage 2012a, 2012b; Heritage and
Raymond 2005; Jacquin and Miecznikowski 2022; Lindström, Maschler, and Pekarek
Doehler 2016; Nuckolls and Michael 2014; Raymond and Heritage 2006; Stivers,
Mondada, and Steensig 2011). Indexicality is fundamental here and this body of
research demonstrates the degree to which the meaning of the
epistemic/evidential markers depends on many pragmatic factors related to
various levels of granularity (Schegloff 2000), ranging from more local,
sequential organization to more macro, generic expectations (e.g. the type of
setting considered). Various languages have been explored, notably English
(e.g. Fox 2001; Kärkkäinen 2003; Sidnell 2014; Thompson and Mulac 1991),
German (e.g. Betz 2015; Helmer, Reineke, and Deppermann 2016), French (e.g.
Jacquin 2022; Mondada 2011; Pekarek Doehler 2016), Spanish/Catalan (e.g.
Cornillie and Gras 2015; García Ramón 2018; Uclés Ramada 2020), Italian (e.g.
Miecznikowski, Battaglia, and Geddo 2021; Pietrandrea 2018; Riccioni,
Bongelli, and Zuczkowski 2014), Estonian (e.g. Keevallik 2006, 2010; Laanesoo
2016), Finnish (e.g. Lindström, Lindholm, and Laury 2016), and Hebrew (e.g.
Polak-Yitzhaki and Maschler 2016).

Scholars are invited to submit papers exploring further how knowledge is
expressed and negotiated in talk-in-interaction. Contributions must be related
to at least one of the following three research topics (see the website for
more information):

1. Epistemicity and quantification
2. Epistemicity and multimodality
3. Epistemicity and variation

Abstracts for oral presentations (30-minute slots including discussion time
and time for moving between sessions) should be submitted before 1 February
2023 via ConfTool (http://www.conftool.com/knowint2023). Contributors will
need to link their presentation with at least one of the conference topics.
Abstracts should not be more than 400 words; they must (i) clearly state the
research question, (ii) include a brief description of the theoretical
framework and of the methodology adopted by the author(s) and (iii) highlight
the originality of the proposal.
