*THE 17TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON *

*LANGUAGE, INTERACTION, AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION*

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. We welcome abstracts from graduate students and 
faculty working in the areas of Anthropology, Applied Linguistics, 
Cognitive Science, Communication, 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
