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.
