We’re also merging reading and data sessions so that knowledge and observation go hand in hand. Each week, we’ll read a chapter on sequence organization and begin by discussing its key insights. Then, we’ll dive into some data to explore any sequentially organized phenomena we may come across!

Naturally, we didn’t have time to get into the well-studied generic organizations of talk-in-interaction. That’s why we’re launching a second season! This time, we’ll focus on sequence organization, with special emphasis on adjacency pairs and expansions. Schegloff (2007), here we go!

Dear #EMCA community,
Secuenciando’s first season, “Intro to CA,” has successfully come to an end! We read a variety of papers and book chapters covering the fundamentals of Conversation Analysis and had the chance to immerse ourselves in a couple of data sessions in Spanish.

Hi everyone! My name’s Belen and I’m a Linguistics Student at PUCP 📍🇵🇪 With some dear friends and colleagues, we created an interdisciplinary group in which we study #ConversationAnalysis (AC), called “Secuenciando”. We started last term and we’re really proud of the work we’ve done so far :)

Our recent paper examines the details of professedly simultaneous phenomena (e.g., choral actions).
We argue that simultaneity is a gloss for describing temporal relations, and “sequentiality is the organizational principle securing their actual accomplishment”.

🚨SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS 🚨
In his first 100 days, Trump has declared war on science—slashing budgets, censoring facts, and meddling in research. From climate to cancer care, real lives are at risk.

I'm very happy to announce the foundation of a small study group devoted to Conversation Analysis in Peru, composed primarily of undergraduate and graduate students eager to understand the technicalities of naturally occurring social interaction.

Harvard and Google AI mapped one cubic millimeter of a human brain. It took up 1.4 petabytes of storage just in pictures of the specimen. So the entire brain would take ~ 1.6 zettabytes of storage, cost $50 billion, and require 140 acres. It would be the largest data center on the planet— one brain.
