Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Sociolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2017 

Meeting Description:

This workshop explores the manifestations and consequences of verbal and
non-verbal accommodation in conversational interaction. Accommodation can be
described as the interactants' tendency to become more (convergence) and
sometimes less similar (divergence) to each other in conversational
interaction. Accommodation has been documented at different linguistic levels,
and a number of non-verbal behaviors such as co-speech gestures, body posture,
and visual contact have been suggested to facilitate rapport, mutual liking,
and coordination of collaborative tasks.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on verbal or
non-verbal accommodation. In particular, we are interested in bridging the gap
between quantitative and qualitative approaches to accommodation research and
discuss more general, overarching questions regarding the manifestations and
consequences of accommodation. 


2nd Call for Papers:

We invite contributions that address one or several of the following topics:

- The interplay of verbal and non-verbal accommodation within and between
interactants
- The role of accommodation for the organization of interaction (i.e. social
positioning)
- Perception of and reactions to accommodative behaviour by interactants and
observers
- The susceptibility of different linguistic levels for accommodation (e.g.,
comparative studies between morphosyntactic and phonetic accommodation)
- The relationship between short-term (i.e., over minutes or hours) and
long-term accommodation (i.e., over months or years)
- The relationship between priming and accommodation 

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers investigating
accommodation processes at the phonetic, morphological, syntactic, semantic
and at the discourse level. By exploring the phenomenon of accommodation in
single interactional events we hope to shed light on some of the more general
mechanisms of language variation and change. 

This session is a workshop at the 50th Annual Meeting of the Societas
Linguistica Europaea (SLE), which will take place in Zurich, 10-13 September
2017. We invite submissions of abstracts for 20 minutes presentations
(followed by 5 minutes for discussion) that address any of the topics in the
workshop description or related questions. 

For all abstracts, the submission deadline is January 15 2017.  

Please submit your abstract via Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sle2017

The workshop name ''Accommodation in Verbal and Nonverbal Behavior'' will show
on Easychair. Please select this workshop upon abstract submission.

Abstracts should i) be anonymous, ii) contain between 400 and 500 words
(exclusive of references), and (3) state research questions, approach, method,
data and (expected) results. 

Participants are allowed to present only one single-authored paper. In
addition, they may either have a joint paper (but not as a first author) or be
a discussant in a workshop. Two co-authored papers are also allowed.
