Call for Proposals

LANSI brings together scholars and students
working on naturally-occurring data within the broad area of language and social
interaction. In keeping with the LANSI spirit of diversity and dialog, we
welcome abstracts from colleagues working on a variety of topics using discourse
analytic approaches that include but are not limited to conversation analysis,
interactional sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and critical discourse
analysis. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words with a 50 word summary
and should include descriptions of the following aspects of the study:
(1) problem(s) being addressed; (2) central claim(s); (3) data source(s) and
analytic approach(es); (4) implication(s) of the findings. Abstracts will be
blind-reviewed on the basis of clarity, specificity, originality, and the
inclusion of the required components. Papers will be presented within a
15-minute slot with an additional ten minutes for discussion.

Deadline for electronic submission is May 15,
2012. Notification of acceptance or non-acceptance will be sent via email by
July 1, 2012. For additional information and to submit an abstract, please
