*Call for Proposals*

LANSI brings together scholars and students working on 
naturally-occurring data within the broad area of language and social 
interaction. In keeping with the LANSI spirit of diversity and dialog, 
we welcome abstracts from colleagues working on a variety of topics 
using discourse analytic approaches that include but are not limited to 
conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, linguistic 
anthropology, and critical discourse analysis. Abstracts should be 
no longer than 300 words and should include descriptions of the 
following aspects of the study: (1) problem(s) being addressed; (2) 
central claim(s); (3) data source(s) and analytic approach(es); (4) a 
short piece of data to support the main argument; (5) implication(s) of 
the findings. Please also include a 50-word summary. Abstracts will be 
blind-reviewed on the basis of clarity, specificity, originality, and 
the inclusion of the required components. Papers will be presented 
within a 15-minute slot with an additional ten minutes for discussion.

Deadline for electronic submission is May 30, 2013. Notification of 
acceptance or non-acceptance will be sent via email by July 15, 2013.
