The Language and Social Interaction (LSI) Division promotes research and teaching on language, discourse processes, and the multiple modalities of human interaction (speech, gaze, gesture, etc.). Further information about LSI can be found at our website: http://www.nca-lsi.org/index.html
The LSI Division invites submissions of paper, paper session, and panel discussion proposals for the 2012 NCA annual convention to be held in Orlando, FL, Nov. 15-18. Submissions may be empirical, theoretical, methodological, or exploratory in nature, but should take an approach that is grounded in at least one of the following traditions: applied linguistics, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnography of communication, ethnomethodology, narrative analysis, pragmatics, social psychology of language, social semiotics, sociolinguistics, or speech act theory.
Papers, extended abstracts, paper sessions, and panel discussions will be considered, but completed papers are preferred. Please indicate whether your paper submission should be considered as a student paper by checking the appropriate box.
Paper Session and Panel Discussion proposals should include an overall description, a rationale for the session/panel as well as titles and extended abstracts for each panelist's paper presentation (for paper sessions only), and panelist information. For individual paper submissions, all identifying author information (names, institutions, hidden document properties) should be removed before submission.
All submitters are encouraged to review the Professional Standards for Convention Participants prior to submission. Helpful resources, including step-by-step instructions on how to submit, definitions of different submission types, and how to prepare a blind submission, are available in the NCA Convention Resource Library at www.natcom.org/conventionresources
All submissions must be made online through NCA Submission Central, and must list any A/V requirements at the time of submission. Check your email address listed in NCA Submission Central before or after submission as all correspondence goes there. Deadline: Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
