About the CLIC/LISO conference
 
The annual conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion in the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will be presented by national and international scholars on a variety of topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture. The papers primarily employ analysis of naturally occurring data drawing from methodologies that include conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnographic methods, ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, and interactional sociolinguistics.
The Conference on Language, Interaction, and Culture is jointly organized and sponsored by the Language, Interaction, and Social Organization (LISO) group and the Center for Language, Interaction, and Culture (CLIC).
