SUMMARY:LISO Research Focus Group Talk: John J. Gumperz Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Accent\, Interaction\, and Intimacy on the Autism Spectrum \nKira Hall\nUniversity of Colorado Boulder \nIf intimacy is collaboratively produced in interaction\, as discourse analysts argue\, then how do individuals with atypical interactional behaviors achieve it? This paper addresses a sociolinguistic practice noted for individuals on the autism spectrum but rarely analyzed: the sustained adoption of non-local dialect features. For sociolinguists who view second dialect acquisition as a social achievement importantly related to identity\, this practice presents a paradox: How do individuals with such a purportedly “asocial” syndrome accomplish an activity that is intensely social? To address this question\, the talk draws from data collected by a team of linguists and anthropologists at the University of Colorado Boulder for a multi-year project on accent imitation in the autism spectrum. Focusing on the life narrative of an autistic man raised in Montgomery\, Alabama who has adopted what he characterizes as a “South African Welsh” accent\, the paper suggests that the cultivation of non-local accent enables autistic individuals to achieve the intimacy often precluded by the use of atypical prosody. Bringing together Bourdieu’s work on ‘shared timing’ with recent work on queer time and spatiotemporal scales\, the paper questions fundamental sociolinguistic assumptions about the relationship between place\, dialect\, and speaker subjectivity. \nKira Hall is Professor of Linguistics and Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Current President of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology\, she has published on such topics as language and sexuality in India\, Hinglish\, mass hysteria\, embodied sociolinguistics\, and Trump’s use of comedic gesture. In addition to book publications that include Gender Articulated (with Mary Bucholtz\, Routledge 1995)\, Queerly Phrased (with Anna Livia\, Oxford 1997)\, Essays in Indian Folk Traditions (Archana 2007)\, and Studies in Inequality and Social Justice (Archana 2009)\, she is coeditor of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Language and Sexuality (with Rusty Barrett\, 2021). \nThe John J. Gumperz Memorial Lecture honors the life and work of John J. Gumperz\, the founder of interactional sociolinguistics and a longtime member of the LISO community. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Language\, Interaction\, and Social Organization (LISO) Research Focus Group\, UCSB Departments of Communication\, Linguistics\, and Education

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Border-Crossings at the Intersection of Narrated and Narrating Landscapes: Linguistic Brokers Witnessing and Enduring the U.S. Spatio-Temporal Politics of Migrant Worker Illegality in the American Heartland
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores bilingual women’s social and narrative positioning as informal linguistic brokers (or community interpreters) in a rural town dependent on the industrial processing of fresh kosher meat-products. Specifically\, it addresses how these women as “community accountants” employed reflexive interdiscursivity and oriented to different modernist chronotopes to re-analyze the cultural politics of migrant labor (Bakhtin 1981; See Chávez 2015; Dick 2010\, 2017; Perrino 2011; Reynolds 2017). Their accounts shed insight into what happens when legal recognition of migrant labor is withheld/deferred and how this influences the chronic conditions of exhaustion and ambivalence that shape the social reproductive and linguistic labor necessary in supporting a diverse international migrant workforce in transnationally intertwined rural political economies (Povinelli 2011; McElhinny 2016). The study combines ethnography with poetic approaches to narrative dialogically produced through interviews. Analyses feature two contrasting case studies of native and foreign-born women and highlight how they grappled with maintaining and sustaining relationships that were socially fraught and required different kinds of border-crossing work to affectively identify with both migrant and native-born town residents. \nJennifer F. Reynolds is Professor of Anthropology and a faculty member in Linguistics and the Latin American Studies Program at the University of South Carolina. She is a linguistic anthropologist who examines the relationship(s) between quotidian discourse practices and social and linguistic reproduction\, with a focus on indigenous Guatemalans in transnational circuits of migration. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Language\, Interaction\, and Social Organization (LISO) Research Focus Group and the Mellichamp Global Dynamics Initiative

SUMMARY:Talk: Category Accounts: Identity and Normativity in Sequences of Action
DESCRIPTION:This study investigates the sequentially occasioned provision of what I term ‘category accounts’ in interaction. Category accounts tap into and make use of normative assumptions about identities and membership categories in order to explain away moments of what the participants view as category deviance. To introduce this concept\, I focus on sequences in which speakers’ initiations of repair (e.g.\, Huh?) are oriented to as indicative of a problem of understanding. In the cases examined here\, recipients of such initiations of repair treat divergence from some gender/sexuality norm as the source of the misunderstanding\, which is revealed through their attempt to resolve the trouble by providing a category account\, thereby closing the repair sequence and providing for the resumption of progressivity. These and similar accounting sequences are thus a means through which participants collaboratively normalize momentary departures from normativity\, while at the same time reconstituting what exactly constitutes ‘normativity’ and ‘departures therefrom’\, and for whom. \nChase Wesley Raymond holds PhDs in Hispanic Linguistics (2014) and Sociology (2016)\, both from UCLA\, and is currently Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. His research interests lie at the intersection of language and (different facets of) social identity and normativity\, in both ordinary and institutional interaction. Recent and forthcoming publications include articles in Language\, Research on Language & Social Interaction\, Language in Society\, and the Journal of Sociolinguistics. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Language\, Interaction and Social Organization (LISO) Research Focus Group and Department of Sociology

SUMMARY:Talk: Journalistic Questioning and Sociopolitical Change: The Case of Marriage Equality in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:This paper explores the interface between interactional conduct and sociopolitical change\, and makes the case for social action design as an underutilized and unobtrusive index of change. This approach is exemplified through the case of same-sex marriage\, whose social standing shifted from marginality to mainstream acceptance within a relatively short period. Using journalistic interview data and in particular question-response sequences addressed to U.S. politicians regarding their position on same-sex marriage (e.g.\, Do you support legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide?)\, the paper charts measurable shifts in the manner in which positioning questions were broached and pursued by journalists across more than two decades\, and considers how such behavioral shifts both reflect and contribute to the mainstreaming of marriage equality in the U.S. Political positioning questions and their sequelae thus provide a novel window into perceptions of the evolving sociocultural landscape on controversial issues of public importance. \nSteven E. Clayman is Professor of Sociology at UCLA. His research addresses the structures and practices of human interaction\, and their interface with social institutions. He has written extensively on news conferences and journalistic interviews\, using question design and response as a window into journalistic norms\, press-state relations\, and the sociopolitical landscape. He is the co-author (with John Heritage) of Talk in Action: Interactions\, Identities\, and Institutions (Wiley-Blackwell)\, and The News Interview: Journalists and Public Figures On the Air (Cambridge). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Language\, Interaction and Social Organization (LISO) Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:RFG Talk: LISO’s John J. Gumperz Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Discursive Strategies of Dominance: How Publics Are Homogenized \nScholars have been noting for many years the increasingly polyphonous\, fractured and heterogeneous discourses that have gained public visibility in this era of the internet\, “superdiversity” and “globalization.” Yet\, if we look around the world\, we see many recent processes – equally remarkable – that move in a different direction: There is a closing down and homogenization of mass mediated political talk. Right wing parties in power in many European countries have destroyed opposition newspapers\, TV outlets\, billboards\, internet sites. Often these discourses gain their authority as “the voice from nowhere” by aligning with the figure of the nation and claiming to speak for “everyone” who is “really” part of the nation.  The making of boundaries and exclusions follows\, producing a homogenization of mass media\, often controlled by the state. I explore the discursive and rhetorical strategies with which this happens; my analyses come from Hungary and Poland. The goal is not simply to diagnose the situation\, as many observers have done\, but to identify the sociolinguistic processes that are operating and have made these discursive moves possible. \nSusan Gal is Mae and Sidney G. Metzl Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago\, a member of the Anthropology and Linguistics Departments. She is the author of Language Shift\, and co-author of The Politics of Gender after Socialism. As co-editor of Languages and Publics: The Making of Authority\, and in numerous articles\, she has written about the political economy of language\, multilingualism and empire\, and the semiotics of gender and other forms of differentiation. Her continuing ethnographic work in Eastern Europe explores the relationship between linguistic practices\, semiotic processes and the construction of social life. \nThe John J. Gumperz Memorial Lecture honors the life and work of John J. Gumperz\, the founder of interactional sociolinguistics and a longtime member of the LISO community. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center; the Mellichamp Language and Globalization Lecture Series; and the IHC’s Language\, Interaction\, and Social Organization RFG (LISO)

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: LISO's Annual John J. Gumperz Lecture
DESCRIPTION:John B. Haviland will present a lecture on “K’alal Lajyak’bekon Notisia\, ‘Bweno Ta Xinupunkutik’\, Gloria a Dios\, Háganlo Bien (When they told me ‘Well\, we’re getting married’—Glory to God! Do it well!): Changing Tzotzil Discourses of Marriage.” \nHaviland is an anthropological linguist\, with interests in the social life of language\, including gesture\, emerging sign languages\, and interaction. His work concentrates on Tzotzil (Mayan) speaking peasant corn farmers from Zinacantán\, Chiapas\, Mexico\, and on speakers of Guugu Yimithirr (Paman)\, especially at the Hopevale Aboriginal Community\, near Cooktown\, in northern Queensland\, Australia. He has most recently engaged in two fieldwork projects: one an ongoing study of language origins based on extensive documentation of a first generation sign language (Zinacantec Family Homesign\, or ZFHS) from Chiapas\, Mexico; and the other with speakers of Amuzgo (Otomanguean)\, both in their home community in Oaxaca and in an immigrant community in Oceanside\, California\, part of a wider set of studies about Mexican indigenous people in diaspora. Haviland’s recent research interests also include Mexican merolicos (street performers)\, gesture and multimodal interaction\, ethnomusicology\, and language and the law\, especially as it involves speakers of indigenous languages of Mexico and Central America. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Language\, Interaction\, and Social Organization RFG (LISO); the Language & Globalization Lecture Series of the Mellichamp Global Dynamics Initiative; the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center; and the Department of Linguistics.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Recognizing (and not recognizing) the richness of children's linguistic repertoires: A raciolinguistic perspective on identity and interaction in urban schools
DESCRIPTION:This talk draws on “raciolinguistic ” perspectives to explore how language and race were perceived\, constructed\, and invoked in a diverse urban elementary school in Los Angeles\, California. Based on ethnographic and interactional data from a Spanish-English dual language classroom\, the talk illustrates how “raciolinguistic ideologies” mediated the construction of racialized subjectivities and reified forms of language among a diverse group of multilingual children and their teachers. The dynamic translingual practices of these children are contrasted with the static notions of both language and race that predominate in the discourse around educational diversity. Foregrounding the relationship between language and racialization highlights the processes by which these children’s forms of semiosis were variously displayed\, ignored\, (mis)construed\, and recruited in the construction of racialized identities. The talk concludes by addressing the role of an analytic focus on children’s linguistic practices and ideologies in the larger project of exploring and disrupting teachers’ perceptions of and encounters with students of color. \nRamón Antonio Martínez is an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University. His research explores the intersections of language\, race\, and ideology in the experiences of students of color\, with a focus on bi/multilingual Chicana/o and Latina/o children and youth. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Language\, Interaction\, and Social Organization Research Focus Group.
