Subject: Grammar and Social Interaction in Languages of the Americas

 
Full Title: Grammar and social interaction in languages of the AGrammar and Social Interaction in Languages of the Americas 

Date: 03-Jan-2019 - 06-Jan-2019
Location: New York City, NY, USA 
Contact Person: Nick Williams
Meeting Email: nicholas.j.williams at colorado.edu

Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; General Linguistics; Language Documentation; Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 20-Apr-2018 

Meeting Description:

We are planning a panel for SSILA/LSA (Jan 3-6, 2019 in New York)
provisionally titled: Grammar and social interaction in languages of the
Americas
 
This panel will highlight recent work in the fields of language documentation
and grammatical description that incorporates data from naturally occurring
social interaction. We are especially interested in research that uses methods
from Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics to expand on and
deepen the reach of traditional grammatical descriptions. Topics may include
analysis of grammatical forms as they are used in everyday conversation (see
e.g. Gipper 2014 on evidentials in interaction, Enfield 2003 on demonstratives
in interaction) or studies focusing on aspects of the organization of
talk-in-interaction in specific languages (e.g. turn-taking, repair,
reference, action ascription) and that may consider multimodal aspects of
language use including eye-gaze, pointing and other manual gestures, body
position, etc. The panel will survey the latest research on grammar in
interaction across languages of the Americas and will demonstrate the value of
an interactional approach to grammatical description.


Call for Participation:

If you are interested in participating in this panel (we will have six
20-minute slots), we ask that you send us a potential title and a short
(150-200 word) abstract of your talk, including the language and family, the
phenomenon under study, etc. by April 20.
