| 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference 3rd Call for Papers Leibnitz Institute 2023 + | '''10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference: 3rd Call for Papers''' The Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim is pleased to announce the 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10). The conference will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to 21 July 2023. The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing languages, to foster the development of an international community, to discuss the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield has had a checkered history, but comparative and contrastive work has always been and continues to be an important part of linguistic research. New impulses for comparative and contrastive work include the increasing availability of multilingual corpora or comparative work drawing on naturalistic interaction data. At this anniversary edition of ICLC, we want to provide a stage for the presentation of such new work, and reflect the past, current and future developments of contrastive research in linguistics. We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following: · Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics from any area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics as well as matters such as register and socio-cultural context · The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic research · The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research · The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as historical, typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics · The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied linguistics such as foreign language teaching and learning, translation studies and corpus linguistics · Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to contrastive analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional, generative, constructional approaches) · Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability, incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis, language universals) · Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel / translation corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal corpora, naturalistic data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and neurolinguistic experiments, surveys) · The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic generalizations and the development of linguistic theory on the other hand Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers. Confirmed keynote speakers are: · Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics, Germany) · Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands) · Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven, Belgium) · Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Germany) · Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway) The conference will include a poster session. The conference language will be English. Following the conference, all participants will be offered the possibility to submit their contribution for publication in a volume of selected conference papers. '''Submission of Abstracts''' We invite submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for discussion) or poster presentations. Abstracts should formulate a clear research question and include a description of the methods, results and conclusions. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. One person may submit only one (oral or poster) paper as the first author. The number of co-authored submissions is not limited. However, presenting more than one paper (oral or poster) at the conference by a single person should be avoided. All submissions must be in English, fully anonymous, and no longer than one page (12 point Times New Roman), with up to one additional page for data, figures and references. Abstracts must be submitted via the EasyChair system through the following submission web page https://bit.ly/3jZc4Ex Submission Procedure: 1. Login at: https://bit.ly/3jZc4Ex 2.

Pragmaticians have made a fundamental contribution to the language sciences by showing that interactants presume mutual knowledge of the typical to do atypical things, flout maxims, make other people laugh. They have demonstrated that we expect others to produce typical behaviour, that we orient to atypical interaction and set out to restore routine conduct. They have illustrated in addition that communication can misfire when people fail to share typical, often implicit, signs for signalling mutual comprehension and that, because (a)typical language use is interactive with social standards for communication, this is not without repercussions. At the same time there have been ample concerns about what pragmatic research has considered typical, normal language use, and what particular types of behaviour and linguistic choices it has been upholding as universal. Other questions have surfaced over who gets to be seen and investigated as commonsensically (a)typical, the extent to which individuals, rather than socially shared discourses, can be said to own pragmatic difficulties, not to mention over what can be considered acceptable pragmatic improvement for whom. By focusing on the shape of interaction – that is, the resources and modalities used, the strategies deployed, its narrative unfolding or break-up, and its outcome for the involved participants – we seek to reinforce the pragmatics of (a)typicality by encouraging delegates to increase pragmatic insight into, among other things: -how populations diagnosed with autism, schizophrenia and TDAH, DLD or dyslexia process language and engage in meaningful interaction, with members of similarly diagnosed groups as well as undiagnosed others; -how communication is negotiated and achieved between and among deaf, deaf-blind, and hearing people; how these groups combine signs with visual and tactile gestures and other semiotic resources; ----how ideologies of sign language identify (a)typical resources and approach video and hearing technologies as ordinary or exceptional; -what can be identified as pragmatic difficulties and disfluencies, how these difficulties manifest themselves and are oriented to, and to what extent these difficulties are owned individually or rather emerge and/or disappear in situated, interpersonal communication; -how atypical events (health crises, natural disaster, terrorist attacks) turn everyday interaction into sites of surveillance, invite ‘atypical language’ detection technologies, or invite discourses which identify people as atypical, threatening members of society; -how human interaction conjures up and legitimises exceptional, disruptive events by, among others, allusive language or conspiracy theories; how conventional, official, discourses are contested by exceptional, multimodal protest discourses; and how human interaction forges atypical solidarity across ethnic, social, linguistic and/or political divides. -which arguments are formulated by laypeople and experts to account for monolingual and multilingual practices, sites or communities as (a)typical, in what contexts; how these accounts impact on observable language use; how opponents in debate over language define the limits of acceptable, (a)typical arguments; and how pragmaticians as a community of practice define the boundaries of (a)typical academic writing. Deadlines: - Deadline for panel proposals: 15 June 2022 - Contributions to accepted panels and submissions for posters and lectures must be sent in by 1 November 2022 Submission Details: -Panel proposals (deadline 15 June 2022) have to consist of a brief outline (min. 250 and max. 500 words) of the theme and purpose of the panel, with a first indication of the people the organizer(s) intend(s) to encourage to participate. Panel organizers are asked to avoid restricting their panels to an in-group; therefore, the outline should at the same time serve as a call for papers, inviting others to submit proposals for contributions. Within three weeks after the deadline the conference committee will, on the basis of the outline (weighed against other proposals in relation to the total number of available time slots), decide whether the proposal is accepted. The organizer(s) of an accepted panel is/are free to decide on suitable contributions to their panel, inviting colleagues to submit proposals and selecting from spontaneously submitted ones. Not all panels need to take the same form; some may work with sessions that emphasize discussion; others may want to fit in more (brief) oral presentations; the minimum number of presentations planned for one 90-minute session, however, should be three; the maximum number of 90-minute sessions for a panel is five. -Abstracts for lectures and posters (min. 250 and max. 500 words) should be submitted before 1 November 2022. It is the individual submitter’s choice to submit for oral presentation (lecture) or a poster. Oral presentations are for (nearly) completed research, for which 30-minute slots will be available (including discussion time and time for moving between sessions). Posters are suitable for work in progress and/or work that requires personal feedback, and these will be up for the whole week; during one of the conference days, there is a poster period during which all other conference activities are blocked so that attention goes exclusively to looking at and discussing posters. IPrA actively encourages the submission of posters; experience tells us that this format can generate serious interaction and result in lasting and fruitful contacts. + |
| 18th June 2019 - John Heritage on "Talk Matters" at York University + | Talk Matters An Open Lecture by John Heritage, PhD FAcSS Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology, UCLA Hosted by the Language & Social Interaction Research Cluster Department of Sociology, University of York One of the more surprising developments in sociology during recent decades has been the success of the ultra-microsociological field of conversation analysis (CA). As its name implies, this field focuses on how people talk in conversation and other forms of interaction, and it does so in fine detail. The field was invented in my Department at UCLA, and has since become a widespread approach to research on social interaction and commmunication, practiced worldwide and prominently here at the University of York. The success of this field has two sources: its contribution to solving basic problems in the social sciences, and its use as a resource in solving applied problems in many walks of life. This talk describes some of the basic problems, as well as some applications of CA in the everyday worlds of law, medicine and politics. Date: 18 June 2019 Time: Drinks and snacks from 5pm. Talk to start at 6pm. Place: Bowland Auditorium, Berrick Saul Building, University of York (Campus West). See: https://www.york.ac.uk/about/maps/ for maps and directions. To book: Tickets (free of charge) can be booked here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/second-annual-lecture-tickets-62306124295 Enquiries to: Merran Toerien (merran.toerien@york.ac.uk) + |

| 2 Day Course: Transcribing Multimodal Interaction - Preparing and Transcribing Video Data given by Dr. Jacob Davidsen and Dr. Paul McIlvenny 20 Dec 2021 - 21 December 2021 + | TRANSCRIBING MULTIMODAL INTERACTION – PREPARING AND TRANSCRIBING VIDEO DATA Doctoral School of the Humanities at Aalborg University Registration to hannepc@hum.aau.dk - Deadline December 1 This course gives an introduction to multimodal transcription of human social actions captured with video. Before transcribing video data researchers are tasked with the job of preparing the data, e.g. stitching together videos into a composite video or generating the best possible audio track based on the microphones used. After that the process of getting the data ready the process of transcription begins. The course will give a basic introduction to transcription, but also we will introduce DOTE (a digital transcription environment) for supporting transcription. Learning objectives: Develop basic skills on how to prepare video data for transcription Develop a basic understanding on the theory on transcription Give a solid understanding of digital transcription tools – more precisely DOTE. Teaching methods: Online virtual lectures. Online virtual demonstrations and exercises. Hands-on practice with our new transcription software. Course schedule: Day 1 10:00-12:00 - Preparing audiovisual data Audio 2D, 180 and 360 video Transcoding 13:00-15:00 - Basics of transcription Jeffersonian Mondadian Other script and score-based systems Comic transcripts Day 2 10:00-12:00 - Using transcription software Legacy software (CLAN, Transana, Elan) Pros and cons DOTE 13:00-15:00 - Theoretical and methodological issues Status of transcripts Reproducibility Theoretical biases Script vs score Text vs image Key literature: McIlvenny, Paul & Davidsen, Jacob (2017).
