Vocal practices for achieving embodied coordination
The non-lexical vocalizations team was delighted to have a visit from Lorenza Mondada, with whom (and many other wonderful Linköping colleagues and visiting scholar Julia Katila of Tampere!) they participated in a full day of exciting data sessions. Thanks to our few online guests, we also have a group picture! Schedule: 9.00-12:30 Morning session at …

Hofstetter & Keevallik have recently published "Prosody is used for real-time exercising of other bodies" in a special issue on Sounding for Others. Abstract: While the lexico-grammatical and embodied practices in various instructional activities have been explored in-depth (Keevallik, 2013; Simone & Galatolo, 2020), the vocal capacities deployed by instructors have not been in focus. …
Hofstetter has published an article in a special issue on ethnography and ethnomethodology, "A novice inquiry into unique adequacy". Abstract: In this paper, I question how a researcher might fulfil the unique adequacy requirement when studying novices in a setting in which the researcher is already a member. Since novices by definition lack the expected …
