What's up with all the CA handbooks recently? Now there's a Routledge Handbook of Conversation Analysis coming out soon, last year we had the Research Handbook of Conversation Analysis, and before that the Handbook of Methods. And that's besides the #EMCA Encyclopedia of Terminology.

Does anyone know if there are any descriptions of "requests for assessments" as a question type? Such as "What do you think?" and related #linguistics #EMCA

Sorry to all syntacticians, but my article just came out: "Fuck syntax and fucking syntax in the borrowing of swearwords for assessments in Danish" - the reviewers did not comment on the title!
It lets you know about what "fuck" and "fucking" is used for in interaction, and how they are distributed across different syntactic constructions and how those are used for different kinds of assessments, sequentially speaking.

Conversation has structure and languages reflect these structures. #Linguistics acknowledges the importance of spoken language, but the many attempts at fulfilling the implications of thait are with mixed succes. #Conversation Analysis offers many detailed analyses of specific conversational practices and their structures as related to interaction. In this book, we collect a number of such descriptions while working towards an account of the #grammar as a whole #EMCA

"Hva fanden" ('what the devil') is a #Danish swearing expression used as part of questions. The range of questions include word search and other-initiation of repair, but also genuine requests for information overlaid frustration. However, "hva fanden" is also very frequently used in reported speech (or thought), where its part of assessing, building on the previous uses but with a strong stance!
The article was just published in Gesprächsforschung📜

Is there a good terminology to distinguish assessments that are "reactive" (but still first assessments), for instance to some sudden (possibly non-verbal) event or noticing (e.g., "oh shit" or maybe "great catch"), in contrast to assessments that also introduce the assessable, so to say? Assessments in third position and during stories may be considered 'reactive' like this, but they are in a specific sequential context different than my focus now

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

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)

Distributed agency in smart homecare interactions: A conversation analytic case study https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17504813241267059 — lovely new :OpenAccess: paper by @saulalbert and Lauren Hall #EMCA
As they say, "when examining smart homecare interactions, we might adopt an analytic approach that eschews the normative assumptions about agency built into lay characterizations of categories such as ‘human’ and ‘machine’."

An interview I did about my work on "Living and Working in Space" has just gone live, be glad if those who were interested to take a look took a look!

[PS, if you're on a PC and getting an un-poppable pop-up in the way, I found that sending the video full-screen was a way around that]
Let me know what you think, thank you!

Why do jokes come in rounds, like drinks? And what makes them an interactional safe haven in a group therapy session? These are some of the unlikely questions you encounter if you’re reading Harvey Sacks’ Lectures on Conversation https://ideophone.org/jokes-that-come-in-rounds-observations-from-sacks/ (you can also follow my blog directly at @blog)

Remarkable #protip: use tags as bookmarks. In a large pdf, the Pages overview allows you to filter by tag. Here, a tag 'bookmark' helps keep track of four chapters we're reading across a volume of hundreds of pages #ReadSacks #EMCA
