Meeting Description:

We invite contributions to the following panel at the 19th
International Pragmatics Conference:
"Speech and multimodal resources in social interactions of individuals
experiencing communicative barriers"

Language is quintessentially social and is shaped by and for social
interaction (Levinson, 2006). The core ecology for language use in all
cultures is a speech and gesture exchange system in which participants
take short, rapidly alternating turns (Levinson and Holler, 2014). The
most recent trend in the study of social interaction focuses on how
multimodal resources – including language and bodily movements, such
as gestures – are used in building human action (Mondada, 2014, 2016).
In the interaction between typical speakers, there is an assumption
that actions produced by a participant are “the product of procedures
or methods which are socially shared and used” and that will inform
the design, production, and interpretation of action (Heritage, 1987,
266). However, in interactions involving atypical populations, for
example, people with various neurodivergencies, this assumption may be
significantly challenged since a condition may impact in consequential
ways the shape of interaction (Matthews and Harrington, 2000; Antaki
and Wilkinson, 2012; Wilkinson, 2019).

Call for Papers:

The panel is going to answer the following research questions:
 • What are the forms of adapted talk produced by individuals who
experience communicative barriers and their co-participants? Which
adaptations in social interaction can accommodate them?
 • What and how are situated multimodal resources mobilized to
streamline interaction (e.g., to facilitate conversational
turn-taking) and reach mutual understanding?

We work on the assumption that individuals experiencing various
communicative impairments bring their own compensatory communicative
resources for interacting. Multimodality becomes a resource for
successfully managing interaction, even though it may require multiple
adaptation practices (e.g., Auer and Bauer, 2011; Chen, 2022). Even in
situations where the utterances of these individuals or their use of
multimodal resources are perceived as disruptive or incoherent because
of their non-normativity, diverse meanings motivate them, which are
interactively achieved (e.g., Crompton et al., 2020; Williams et al.,
2021; Korkiakangas and Rae, 2014; Wiklund, 2012). Multiple studies
have demonstrated how meanings can emerge from fractured enunciation
and vulnerable or atypical subjects, drawing on diverse semiotic
resources (e.g., sign languages (Kusters et al., 2017) or augmentative
and alternative communication (e.g., Bloch and Wilkinson, 2013). It is
precisely in relation to communication that seems to deviate from
norms that ‘meaning,’ which is not obvious, becomes novel. The
objective of this panel is to discover, describe, and explain such
(a)typical, non-normative, or differently normative interaction.

The panel brings together scholars whose research deals with
communicative vulnerability, accommodation strategies, and the
pragmatics of asymmetric, inclusive, accessible, and bias-free
communication in social interaction.

TOPICS: Clinical pragmatics, Conversation analysis/EMCA, Interactional
pragmatics, Multimodal pragmatics, Sign language and deaf studies

Abstracts (min. 250 and max. 500 words) should be submitted through
the conference website (https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP2025)
before 1 November 2024.
