Animals Say Hello, but Do They Say Goodbye? In recent years, researchers have challenged the idea that farewells are uniquely human.

Screenshot of article title, authors, abstract: This article introduces the Corpus of Language Discrimination in Interaction (CLDI)—an open-access corpus of transcribed video data, capturing moments where individuals are policed in some way for the language they are speaking or otherwise endorsing while sharing public space (e.g. in stores, restaurants, parking lots, and parks). Despite having thus far largely evaded systematic inquiry, such interactions are illustrative of a particular genre of language policymaking and enforcement that takes place in everyday social life, which the CLDI aims to document and make available for ongoing empirical examination. After presenting the corpus itself, as an initial exploration into some of the practices and actions observable in these data, we describe the recurrent use of Speak English directives, accompanied by nation-state declarative accounts like This is America. Detailed analysis of such turns, and the responses they receive, throws into relief ways that language policies and ideologies can be instantiated, ratified, challenged, defended, and otherwise negotiated in and through the particulars of interactants’ joint conduct. We conclude by describing some future avenues for research, teaching, and public engagement on the basis of the CLDI.*

Here’s an old note from a beginning grad student (requesting some help with a first assignment) and then my reply.

a cardboard box with three copies of the same book entitled Categories in Social Interaction - two with red covers and pale yellow and blue illustrated speech bubbles and one plain blue hardcover - cover by Paul Blow

We @kevinawhitehead.bsky.social @raymond-sociology.bsky.social are very happy to announce a new book and a new paper, both on conversation analysis and membership categorization, published rn in Jan 2025! 📕📄

My first paper with my amazing collaborator Dr. Emma Tennent. Come with us and unravel (in frankly masochistic detail) the sequential and categorial reasoning that organises transmisogynistic talk. If you do not have access but would to read it, let me know and I can share a copy. #EMCA 🌈🎓

The Fraudulent Science of Success Business schools are in the grips of a scandal that threatens to undermine their most influential research—and the credibility of an entire field.

In 2023, Harvard Business School suspended a star professor over charges of research misconduct.

As it happens, one of her papers also had funny data from a *different* B-school superstar -- a "mad, fraudulent unicorn,” per @jamesheathers.bsky.social... (1/3)

Do we have any linguist here who is actively documenting iconicity in spoken language? I would love to connect with them. Most of the people I know working on iconicity focus on their he experimental sides of things.

Linguists working on conversation data of understudied langs, what is a good goal of transcribed, translated and coded data per year for a (doc / desc) project? I made my own estimates based on a pilot case but project reviewers said it was not enough. Would love feedback from you all. #linguistics

On the Other Site, I regularly sought out other trans ethnomethodologists & conversation analysts. I've never come across any. It sucks because our analytic resources (esp. Membership Categorisation Analysis) are absolutely necessary for adequately describing instances of transphobia/transmisogyny.

Children’s Sensations as Interactional Phenomena: A Conversation Analysis of Children’s Expressions of Pain and Discomfort Psychological research has typically studied pain by using participant indirect reports.

🗂️From my research archive: Children’s pain expressions in family mealtimes.

Using words, cries & gestures, children construct pain as a private feeling. But parents treat it as interactionally relevant to the task at hand - (not) eating.

Context matters.
