Meeting Description:

The Institute of Modern Greek Studies [Manolis Triandaphyllidis
Foundation] of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is pleased to
announce its upcoming Symposium on Aspects of Spoken Discourse on 4-5
October 2024 in Thessaloniki (Teloglion Fine Arts Foundation of AUTH).
The Symposium is organized in the framework of the Institute’s
activities on spoken Greek and the research project Greek
Talk-in-interaction and Conversation Analysis. It aims to investigate
various aspects of the Greek language in spoken communication and shed
light on issues and challenges regarding the interface between
system/grammar and use/interaction.

As in the past, this year’s symposium (fourth in line) will also host
a number of talks in other languages so that the Greek data can be
situated in a cross-linguistic perspective. The keynote speakers of
the Symposium will be
• Galina Bolden (Professor, Rutgers University, USA)
• Geoffrey Raymond (Professor, University of California at Santa
Barbara, USA)

Despite the Symposium’s origins in Conversation Analysis, no
particular theoretical and/or methodological approach is presupposed
for the acceptance of a paper– as long as it is grounded on natural
data from audio- or video-recordings. Thematic areas from which topics
can be drawn are indicatively:
- initiating (e.g. informing) and responsive (e.g. receipt of
information) actions,
- action design in particular sequential environments,
- morphosyntactic, prosodic etc. variation of actions,
- the synergy between nods, gestures, gaze, etc. and speech
(multimodality),
- pragmatic particles (response particles, discourse markers etc.),
- repetition/reformulation,
- basic sequences (e.g. question – answer – information receipt) and
broader conversational activity (narration, argumentation, direction
giving etc.),
- epistemic claims and deontic expectations,
- self- and other-repair,
- preference structures,
- alignment and affiliation,
- issues of interpersonal relations (politeness, impoliteness, face
threatening, etc.),
- construction of identities-collectivities
- subjectivity and intersubjectivity,
- spoken language in bi-/multilinguistic environments,
- spoken language and multimedia.

In connection with the Symposium, small-scale seminars on issues of
application (presenting Greek data to a non-Greek speaking audience,
translating Conversation Analysis terms into Greek, data sessions) are
also planned. More information will be provided later.

2nd Call for Papers:

Extended Deadline

The aim of the Symposium is to investigate various aspects of the
Greek language in spoken communication and shed light on issues and
challenges regarding the interface between system/grammar and
use/interaction. As in the past, this year’s symposium (fourth in
line) will also host a number of talks in other languages so that the
Greek data can be situated in a cross-linguistic perspective. Despite
the Symposium’s origins in Conversation Analysis, no particular
theoretical and/or methodological approach is presupposed for the
acceptance of a paper – as long as it is grounded on natural data from
audio- or video-recordings.

Those wishing to participate in the Symposium with a paper are invited
to submit their abstract in both .doc/.docx and .pdf files to
interaction_2024_ins at phil.auth.gr by 10 May 2024. Notification of
acceptance will be communicated by mid-June 2024. In addition to the
purpose of the talk and the kind of data used, abstracts should
specify the method employed and the main findings of the study. They
should be 300-400 words long (including references) and should include
the title of the paper, the name(s) of author(s), their affiliation,
and e-mail address.
