Another troubling exposé of fraud in science publishing: organised groups of reviewers (here, in the medical sciences) conspiring to push authors to cite the reviewers' own work.

Was Erving Goffman really the utterly original "loner", indifferent to others' views?

Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz has searched the archives to map the relation between Goffman and the academic big beasts of the time, with some surprising results.

Guest Blog: A new book on Erving Goffman

Erving Goffman's legacy is everywhere visible in the social sciences, and Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz's new book shines light on the "invisible college" of his contemporaries among his close circle and further afield. The result is a fascinating account of the intellectual climate of the 1960s-1980s, and a throughly engaging read for all whose work has felt the influence of Goffman down the ages.

A (now-defunct) AI bot makes calls to restaurants etc.

It was apparently pretty successful at call openings, second summonses, uh(m)s that precede a reason for the call, and other-initiated self-repair.

Our paper on how phonetic resources help to coordinate laughter draws on cases of joint laughter from conversations in English, Spanish and Finnish. Here's a summary of some of our findings (which rely heavily on Chafe, 2007), along with acoustic records of a laughter bout in Spanish.

There are three main phases to laughter: the initiating pulse, the exhalation sequence, and a final inhalation (Chafe, 2007). Each phase has its own phonetic potential, with the exhalation sequence being the most complex.
