#ipra2023 — Public Fediverse posts

My #IPrA2023 slides are now available on my website. Scroll to the end for onion cake: https://sorensandagersorensen.dk/pres/2023-07-11%20Interjections%20and%20response%20tokens%20-%20integrating%20functional%20linguistics%20with%20sequential%20analysis.pdf

So: thank you #ipra2023 for having me; thank you audience members for all the wonderful feedback, and thank you all IPrA delegates for the countless parallel sessions of inspiring work.

5/5

Storytime!🧵 This #ipra2023 Brussels trip carries a lot of significance for me. My last visit to Brussels was for an ERC interview in 2018. The panel was skeptical and I did not get the grant. I'd also been shortlisted for a Max Planck junior research group which I didn't get, so I would be out of a job that summer were it not for one more chance: a Vidi

It was a melancholy summer in which this Louis Cole song was on repeat https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RhllQAiEQlM&pp=ygURdGhpbmdzIGxvdWlzIGNvbGU%3D

Thank you #ipra2023 for a wonderful four days. Duty calls so I'm on the train back home. I may share more recollections from the first days but here ends my live-tooting service. It's been fun!

On my way to #IPrA2023, but stuck in a train somewhere between Düsseldorf and Aachen 😑

the #SIGdial decisions are in and our paper is accepted! Retroactively turning the citation on this slide from my #ipra2023 plenary from 'under review' to 'accepted' (work with @andreasliesenfeld @alianda) 🥳

And now, less than a quarter before the day is supposed to end, we start the final thing for the day: the general assembly #IPrA2023

Two plenaries this morning at #ipra2023. First up is Julia Snell on "Presumed (in)abilities and the ‘shape of interaction’ in classrooms". Schnell starts off with an intriguing definition of dialogue as "talk that discusses thinking, makes thinking public and refines thinking"

Snell's work is on dialect prejudice and what is now called #raciolinguistics; here's a relevant paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09500782.2012.760584

(First of a possible thread, rest will be unlisted)

All aboard the #IPrA2023 tram!

@annetteless und @hanamo sind derzeit in Brüssel bei der #IPrA2023 mit einem Vortrag zum linguistischen Phänomen #BlackBox bei #KI im #Journalismus

Wer mehr über den Vortrag wissen will, ist eingeladen direkt auf unserer Website vorbeischauen: https://rhet.ai/2023/07/08/panelbeitrag-distrusting-self-driving-cars-trusting-alexa-a-discourse-linguistic-investigation-of-trust-in-artificial-intelligence/

New Mondémé paper just dropped: 'Sequence organization in human–animal interaction. An exploration of two canonical sequences'
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pragma.2023.06.006

Check out those lovely multimodal transcripts+depictions of the interactions, some human-initiated, some animal-initiated #emca #ipra2023

Next up at #ipra2023, a panel on magical speech acts organised by Nassenstein and Levisen. Introducing the panel, Levisen says he won't give a history of magical speech, as 'you can always ask chatgpt' (some frowning in the audience)

I don't think he was being ironic. But come to think of it, chatgpt is all about evoking the statistically probable through an incantation ('prompt') — not a bad working definition of magic.

Plenty of fascinating talks in the #ipra2023 session on repair and miscommunication in human-computer interaction this afternoon (chairs: Saul Albert and Wyke Stommel).

Silke Reineke and Henrike Helmer on repair sequences involving Alexa. One thing they show is that successive multiple repairs happen, but they do not form progressively specific sequences as in human interaction; they are not cumulative in that sense. Instead, the interaction feels just like you're starting afresh every time

You can now download a PDF of my #IPrA2023 slides on the ExOrdo site! See you tomorrow?!

Tomorrow, I look forward to the panel on complex syntax! #IPrA2023

Jürgen Jaspers of ULB opens the #ipra2023 conference, sided by acting secretary Mieke Vandenbroucke and current IPRA president Steve Levinson

Ready for #IPrA2023 starting today? My talk is on Tuesday 11:30, forming part of the "Integration of conversation analytic and other linguistic methods"-panel. I hope to see you there!

Headed to #IPrA2023 in Brussels to give a talk on the pragmatics of because X construction. Not just that they are formally distinct from because clauses, their meaning is also slightly different. More details on that on Monday in a panel on "The speech action of commenting" organised by Rita Finkbeiner and Robert Külpmann.

#BecauseX

Looking forward to #ipra2023 the coming week, the conference of the international #pragmatics association. The weeks leading up to this have been such a frenzy that I haven't been able to study the programme yet, so I'm going to let myself be surprised — tips welcome! https://pragmatics.international/page/Program2023
