It is designed to allow for a great number of use cases\, well-suited for efficient transcribing of monologic data as well as for complex annotations of recordings of multi-party interactions. In this workshop\, we will learn and practice how to create transcription files\, how to add basic glosses\, translations\, and codes\, how to export and import these into/from a variety of other tools\, how to export ELAN annotations into subtitles files for videos\, and how to create templates and individual user/project-specific workflows. This session will be a general introduction to the program and it’s diverse functions and we have allocated practice time so that participants can begin developing their own templates and workflows. \nThe workshop will be lead by our very own Jan David Hauck. Jan received his M.A. in sociocultural anthropology from Free University\, Berlin in 2008 and his Ph.D. in linguistic anthropology from UCLA in 2016. He has done extensive research on the socialization of children in an indigenous Aché community of Paraguay\, analyzing the ideological and interactional constitution of linguistic difference and the development of metalinguistic awareness in a context of language shift and linguistic convergence. Between 2008 and 2013 he took part in a project for the documentation of Aché\, part of the DOBES program for endangered languages. \n\nPlease register by Friday May 26th if you would like to attend the workshop. If you will attend\, please check the preparation/what to bring instructions that follow the workshop schedule below and contact Saskia at smaltz@ucla.edu with questions. Register Here\n\n .\n\nWorkshop Schedule \n*Location Haines 279* \n10 – 11am: \n\nBasic introduction to transcribing with ELAN\nConceptual framework (Annotations\, Tiers\, Types\, and Stereotypes)\n\n11am – 12pm: \n\nPractice session\nCreating a transcription file\nCreating time-aligned annotations\n\n\n12 – 1pm: Lunch\, generously provided by CLIC \n\n\n1 – 1:30pm: \n\n\nAdvanced (but essential) topics\nDifferent work modes: Annotation mode\, Transcription mode\, Segmentation mode\, Media synchronization mode and\nthe brand new\, super exciting (but still beta) Interlinearization mode\nAutomation: Silence and speech recognizer\, measuring pauses and overlaps\, automatic segmentation [tokenizer]\, etc.\n\n1:30 – 4pm (stay as long as you like in this slot):\n\n\nPractice session\nCreating linguistic types\nCreating parent and child tiers for translations and coding\nCreating personalized templates and workflows\nControlled vocabularies\nImport and export (Praat\, Toolbox\, Transcripts\, Subtitles)\n\nPreparation and what to bring \nIf you cannot bring your own computer\, please send us an email\, there will be computers available. \nPlease download ELAN for free at: https://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/elan/download/ \n(Mac users simply unzip the file and drag the entire folder into their applications folder. Windows and Linux users have to run the installer.) \nPlease also download the following 3 PDF documents from: https://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/elan/ \n\nFull manual. The manual is good to have on your computer for doing text searches for specific functions\, I wouldn’t recommend anyone reading or even printing the 300+ pages 🙂\nHow-to Guide. Please print the How-to Guide and bring it to the workshop. It’s 15 pages of concise and precise step-by-step instructions\, which we will practice. (I personally find it more useful and intuitive then the 25-page “User Guide” also available at the same website but if you want you can also read that one.)\n(For minimalists) the A4 Guide.\n\nIf you can\, please bring a short ca. 30-40 seconds video or audio clip of your own data (please not longer than a minute!) in order to start setting up your own templates/workflows. I will have a sample clip in order to get started. \nAdditional software (all free to download) which you may find useful and we may cover on the day: \nTextWrangler (to see/edit the XML structure of ELAN files): http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.html \nPraat (for phonetic analysis): http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ \n(on the Mac: 64-bit edition for anyone with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and higher) \nVLC (cross-platform media player\, the easiest way of adding subtitles): http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html \nMac only\, for those who do not have Quick Time 7 Pro: \nQT Amateur (free program that can export all the Quick Time 7 compatible formats\, in case you need to extract the audio file from videos) \nhttps://www.mikeash.com/software/qtamateur/ URL:https://clic.ss.ucla.edu/event/clic-elan-student-workshop/ LOCATION:Haines 279\, 375 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, 90095 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170519T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170520T170000 DTSTAMP:20260430T081729 CREATED:20170103T195144Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170331T205723Z UID:1822-1495180800-1495299600@clic.ss.ucla.edu SUMMARY:23rd Annual LISO & CLIC GSA Conference (UC Santa Barbara) DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for the 23rd Annual Conference presented by LISO & CLIC GSA!\nPlease visit the conference website at: http://www.liso.ucsb.edu/conferences\nFor carpooling information\, please email cbergen [at] ucla [dot] edu\n\n“Encounter and Interface”\nMay 19-20\, 2017\nUniversity of California\, Santa Barbara\nAbstract Submission Deadline: January 13th\, 2017\n  \n  URL:https://clic.ss.ucla.edu/event/23rd-annual-liso-clic-gsa-conference-uc-santa-barbara/ LOCATION:UC Santa Barbara Humanities and Social Sciences Building\, University Road\, Santa Barbara\, CA\, 93106\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170428T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170428T170000 DTSTAMP:20260430T081729 CREATED:20160821T231740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170420T205814Z UID:1717-1493370000-1493398800@clic.ss.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Simultaneity in Action Symposium: Celebrating the Careers of Charles and Marjorie Goodwin DESCRIPTION:[ Registration Form ]\n[ Registration Form ]\n2017 Program URL:https://clic.ss.ucla.edu/event/2017_clic_symposium/ LOCATION:UCLA Alumni Center\, 325 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170427T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170427T190000 DTSTAMP:20260430T081729 CREATED:20170413T012949Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170413T014949Z UID:1895-1493312400-1493319600@clic.ss.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Simultaneity in Action Symposium: Opening Reception DESCRIPTION:Registration is still open for the 2017 CLIC Symposium: Simultaneity in Action\, Celebrating the Careers of Charles and Marjorie Goodwin.

Everyday Negotiations Of Virtue Ethics Among Muslim Women In Coastal Kenya.” \nThis talk discusses the different ways in which Muslim women in Lamu (Kenya) anticipate possible evaluations of their public presence. Specifically\, it considers how subtle shifts in women’s comportment are informed by multiple\, often conflicting\, possibilities for interpretation that inhabit imagined bodies\, social positions\, and locations within Lamu town. By discussing how such reflexivity informs everyday behaviors\, the talk considers the connections between the moral ordinary\, virtue ethics\, and semiotic value. \nPlease note the 5:15PM start time!

Clark (Stanford University) DESCRIPTION:Event Flyer\nHerbert H. Clark\nStanford University\nDepiction-in-Interaction\nDepicting is a basic method of communication on a par with describing and pointing (or indicating). The idea is that people use their hands\, arms\, head\, face\, eyes\, voice\, and body\, with and without props\, to stage physical scenes for others\, generally as composite parts of utterances along with describing and pointing. Performing depictions\, I will show\, is inherently interactive\, and people choose depictions to communicate things they could not do with language or pointing. But what things?

Relying on interviews with jurors who have sentenced defendants to death and combat veterans who have been involved in the loss of life\, the talk specifically probes how the individuals tasked with carrying out state killing make sense of their experiences. A close analysis of the linguistic constructions used to talk about these experiences reveals issues about agency\, empathy\, and subjectivity entangled in these institutional acts. \nRobin Conley\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology\, Marshall University \nEvent Flyer URL:https://clic.ss.ucla.edu/event/clic-colloquium-robin-conley-marshall-university-2/ LOCATION:Haines 279\, 375 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, 90095 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160219 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160221 DTSTAMP:20260430T081729 CREATED:20160115T225546Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160218T033817Z UID:1595-1455840000-1456012799@clic.ss.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Registration Closed: 2016 CLIC Body Talk Workshop DESCRIPTION:2016 CLIC Workshop on Talk and the Body\nOur program includes papers by Norma Mendoza-Denton & Brendan O’Connor; Nick Enfield; Jurgen Streek; Erica Cartmill & Rafael Nuñez; Olga Solomon; and Jon Hindmarsh\, as well as a presentation by choreographer Betsy Baytos.

Ethnographic field data on prayer\, preaching\, song\, and other features of Christian worship reveal how processes of semiotic intensification contribute to collective experiences of spiritual contact. The analysis develops broader questions about “intensity” both as a descriptive category in ethnography and as a local cultural category in South Korea. \nNicholas Harkness\, Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University URL:https://clic.ss.ucla.edu/event/clic-colloquium-nicholas-harkness-harvard/ LOCATION:Haines 352\, 375 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, 90095\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160106T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160106T190000 DTSTAMP:20260430T081729 CREATED:20151218T023359Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151218T024001Z UID:1553-1452099600-1452106800@clic.ss.ucla.edu SUMMARY:CLIC 2016 Winter Quarter Launch DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we launch the 2016 Winter Quarter with select presentations from members of our CLIC Community.

Sociolinguistic variables always index the speaker’s perspective\, but range from the relatively macro-social to affect and bodily states. In this talk\, I will explore this range\, focusing on sound symbolism and the embodied end of the range. \nEvent Flyer URL:https://clic.ss.ucla.edu/event/clic-colloquium-penelope-eckert-stanford/ LOCATION:Haines 352\, 375 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, 90095\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151112T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151112T180000 DTSTAMP:20260430T081729 CREATED:20151102T205124Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151102T205437Z UID:1524-1447347600-1447351200@clic.ss.ucla.edu SUMMARY:ALC Linguistics Colloquium: Ritva Laury (University of Helsinki) DESCRIPTION:The clause as a unit in grammar and interaction: The case of Finnish and Japanese\nUCLA Department of Asian Languages and Cultures Linguistics Colloquium\nCo-Sponsored by UCLA Center for Language\, Interaction\, and Cutlure \nDr. Ritva Laury\, University of Helsinki\nritva.laury [at] helsinki.fi \nThe clause has a long history as a basic structural unit in linguistics\, likely to be defined in any standard reference on grammar or textbook in linguistics\, and called upon in the analysis of particular languages. The clause has also been considered a building block of turns and TCUs in Conversation Analysis\, along with sentences\, phrases\, and one‐word constructions\, as clauses are thought to have points of possible completion\, thereby allowing projection\, crucial for the organization of turn taking (e.g. Sacks et al. 1974: 702\, 721). In interactional linguistics\, the clause has been considered an emergent unit\, achieved in interaction between participants (e.g. Goodwin 1979\, Ford\, Fox & Thompson 2002) and “the locus” of interaction\, that is\, central to the accomplishment of interactional tasks (Helasvuo 2001). Thompson & Couper‐Kuhlen (2005) even go so far as to suggest that this is so for all languages (but see Thompson frthc.). \nHowever\, recent studies have suggested that traditional linguistic units (such as the clause) may in fact not be useful or relevant either for the grammatical description of individual languages (Haspelmath 2010; see also Dryer 1997)\, nor for the way that participants in conversation organize their interaction and orient to it (Ford\, Fox & Thompson 2013). \nIn this presentation\, I will report on a recent study (Ono\, Suzuki & Laury frthc.) in which we have critically examined the relevance and suitability of the concept clause for the description of the grammar of Finnish and Japanese\, based on ordinary everyday conversation in these two languages. We consider whether and how participants in these languages use clausal structures in accomplishing tasks and actions\, and whether and on what basis they could be said to be orienting to clauses as a unit in interaction. Our conclusion so far is that the clause\, based on conversational data\, is not as relevant as a unit for Japanese speakers as it is for Finnish speakers\, and therefore the clause might be a useful concept for the description of Finnish but not so useful for the description of Japanese talk‐in‐interaction. \nRitva Laury is professor of Finnish at the University of Helsinki and professor emerita of linguistics at the California State University. Her research has focused on the emergence of grammar from interaction\, and has dealt with issues of reference\, indexicality\, grammaticization and clause combining\, and\, most recently\, embodied activities in conversation.

I’ll start by showing how ‘patient view elicitors’ (PVEs) can be used to construct such a decision for the patient. In my dataset\, these PVEs fell into two main groups: those where the course of action was introduced prior to the use of the PVE\, and those where it was introduced through its use. I’ll illustrate each of these\, showing how each can function to place the decision in the patient’s domain. However\, I’ll also argue that each raises a potential difficulty for patient choice\, which amounts to a dilemma for the clinician. Illustrating this dilemma in my data\, I will explain it in terms of the twin concepts of epistemic and deontic authority (see Stevanovic and Peräkylä\, 2012). I’ll conclude by considering some ways in which clinicians may be able to address these difficulties most effectively – including by borrowing some of the structure evident in an alternative practice my colleagues and I have identified for offering patients choice\, which we refer to as option-listing.
