Organized by Giovanni Rossi (Department of Sociology, UCLA) and Tanya Stivers (Department of Sociology, UCLA)
When we interact with others, we juggle many competing pressures. We must both comprehend and produce language in a normatively tight timeframe. We need to work to try to understand and be understood by others, both semantically and pragmatically. Our self-presentations are continually adjusted for the addressee, the activity context, and the actions in which we are engaged. And, we must manage all of these factors while also working to manage our degree of affiliation with our addressees. In this workshop, we bring together speakers from a range of disciplines and methods in order to collectively explore how we balance these competing demands in real time and to what end.
