THE 15TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON
LANGUAGE, INTERACTION, AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION

The conference addresses topics at the intersection of language,
interaction, and culture from theoretical perspectives that employ
data from recorded, spontaneous interaction. This includes, but is not
limited to, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnography of
communication, ethnomethodology, and interactional sociolinguistics.
We welcome abstracts from graduate students and faculty working in the
areas of Anthropology, Applied Linguistics, Education, Linguistics,
Psychology, and Sociology. Presenters will have either*:
(a) 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion
(b) 25 minutes for a data session (small group presentation/discussion
of research and data).
* to be determined by the abstract review committee
