| Title | Call for Papers: Observing Talk: Conversation Analytic Studies of Second Language Interaction |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1555.html As language teachers, much of our work involves conversation and talk-in-interaction, even if we rarely stop to think about what it is we are doing with and through our talk. Although the participant-centered approach to talk in Conversation Analysis (CA) has been widely used in sociology for the last forty years, it has only been in recent years that it has received a growing interest among researchers into second language learning. The JALT Pragmatics SIG is currently seeking papers for inclusion in the second book in its Pragmatic Resource Series. This collection will explore ways in which CA can be applied to investigations of interaction in second language contexts. Authors must adhere to the CA precepts of * privileging the participants’ actions over analyst interpretations and/or pre-existing models * basing findings on detailed analysis of recordings of naturally-occurring interaction * beginning with “unmotivated looking” rather than testing a hypothesis * building collections of related interactional phenomena, based on the organizational principles of sequence, preference, turn-taking, repair, turn construction and action formation. Papers will be considered in two main areas: 1. CA studies based on collections of phenomena from second language interaction. 2. Commentary on how CA principles can be incorporated into classroom practices. Initial proposal and abstract due: 30 June 2007 More information about submission guidelines available at http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1555.html . |
