We (Kevin Whitehead, Geoff Raymond, and I) are very happy to announce a new book: Categories in Social Interaction - out now from Routledge. In it, we investigate categories from the most mundane to those most strongly associated with power and privilege. By examining the reciprocal relationships between categorial phenomena and the basic structures of social interaction, we aim to provide a new integration of CA and MCA #EMCA
The University of York offers a course on the #Phonetics of Talk-in-Interaction in June this year!

Our article "Toward a Grammar of Danish Talk-in-Interaction" critically discusses some linguistic concepts in the context of interaction, on the basis of some specific studies within the "Grammar in Everyday Life". The process and discussions behind this were very heavy and demanding and I would love to hear people's thoughts... Now, a (before proof) version has been uploaded to ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371462881_Toward_a_Grammar_of_Danish_Talk-in-Interaction_From_Action_Formation_to_Grammatical_Description

My best part of my PhD thesis is probably the paper on rising 'ja' (yes) and 'nej' (no) in Danish). It shows that these are used for affiliation in contrast to the 'normal' versions with level intonation. But it also shows how the rising pitch often (cor)responds to a wide pitch span in the previous turn, as part of making affiliation relevant.
Now your can get a version of this on ResearchGate (AAM, before layout and proofs)

Fresh article by my colleague Maria Jørgensen about specifying questions in #Danish: It shows that what matters for the choice of clausal or phrasal response is "embeddedness", i.e. whether the question is embedded in the ongoing sequential trajectory. Phrasal responses are usually embedded, but such a pattern can be "broken" for reasons! https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08351813.2024.2369486 #EMCA

post-migration re-#introduction:
I'm an assistant professor in the School of Information at #umich. I develop computational methods to study conversations, in the vein of #computationalsocialscience #datascience #nlp #nlproc, with #socialcomputing #cscw #emca #hci #linguistics in my peripheral vision.
I have a dog whose yawns, out of context, can be construed as screaming. I maintain a messy mapping of books to cafés at http://tisjune.github.io/recreation/
I'm new to Mastodon - so a brief bio
