Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Pragmatics

Submission Deadline: 01-Dec-2026

This conference welcomes papers that take an interactional approach to
particles in talk-in-interaction by analyzing recordings of social
interaction. By particles we mean small uninflected lexical items such
as interjections, modal particles and fixed multi-word expressions
which do not contribute to the propositional content of an utterance
but instead have interactional and discursive functions. They are used
for such things as regulating the interaction, expressing the
speaker’s stance, and marking coherence relations between utterances.
In actual conversations, such functions may also be carried out by
other ‘minimal resources’, such as non-lexical vocalizations, gestures
and facial expressions, or by combinations of lexical and non-lexical
resources. The conference thus also welcomes contributions that focus
on embodied practices that may be used for the same types of action,
or combinations of particles and non-lexical resources in multimodal
gestalts.
Plenary Speakers:
Galina Bolden (Professor at Rutgers University, US)
Mark Dingemanse (Professor at Radboud University, NL)
Marja-Leena Sorjonen (Professor at University of Helsinki, FI)
