*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).
