Overview
This International Summer School brings into focus linguistic variety from a conversation analytical, interactional, and multimodal perspective. It offers a varied programme of introductory and specialised courses, workshops, and data sessions. The aim of the Summer School is to explore interactional linguistic issues with regard to language variation (including dialects), multilingualism, language contact, etc. It offers five days of intense learning and discussing, which will enable participants to broaden their knowledge and to acquire methods for a granular consideration of linguistic diversity in their data and for analysing phenomena related to the use of multiple languages, dialects, etc. in interaction. The Summer School is directed at graduate, postdoctoral, or senior scholars who have some prior experience in conversation analysis and interactional linguistics. In order to maximise the opportunities for interaction with the facilitators and between attendees, the course accepts 23 participants. For the same reason, the Summer School will take place in a retreat house, where accommodation and full board service is provided. The training will be based on video-recorded interactional data made available by the facilitators and by the participants themselves.

The International Summer School is organised around the following didactic activities:
Plenary lectures administered by the facilitators
Data sessions based on the attendees’ own data
Workshops devoted to practical issues related to analysing linguistically diverse data (e.g., glossing, phonetic rendering, etc.)
Overnight assignments that participants will have to complete in small groups for the subsequent day

Venue
The International Summer School will be held at the premises of the Bildungshaus St. Luzen in Hechingen, Germany (Klostersteige 6, 72379 Hechingen, https://luzen.de).
