Vocal practices for achieving embodied coordination
Keevallik presented a workshop at the ZOSMIA School on multimodal interaction analysis, Nov. 12, 2020. Abstract: I would like to address the question of how the body is involved in sensemaking between participants, interchangeably, and synchronously with grammar, lexis, and vocalizations. By departing from concrete instances of embodied interaction, we can a) document the achievement …

Löfgren & Hofstetter are publishing a paper on how opera rehearsal participants use depictions to convey proposals, and how introversive semiosis may be an analogic connection between semiotic and interactional studies. Abstract: This paper focuses on how opera rehearsal participants use depictions (Clark 2016) to accomplish proposals; they use a locally created scene, comprised of …

Wiggins and Osvaldsson Cromdal have recently edited a volume on how the body is may be studied from a discursive psychology perspective, the study of how psychological concepts and phenomena are organized in social interaction. See especially the following chapters with contributions from the Non-lexical vocalizations team: Wiggins, S. & Osvaldsson Cromdal (2020). Bodies in …
Pelikan is presenting a paper at HRI 2021 on how autonomous buses must coordinate with pedestrians and other everyday road users in the social world of traffic. Abstract: Why Autonomous Driving Is So Hard: The Social Dimension of Traffic. Smooth traffic presupposes fine coordination between different actors, such as pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers. When …

Pelikan, Robinson, Keevallik, Velonaki, Broth, and Brown are organizing a workshop on Sound in human-robot interaction at HRI 2021. https://doi.org/10.1145/3434074.3444871 Abstract: Robot sound spans a wide continuum, from subtle motor hums, through music, bleeps and bloops, to human-inspired vocalizations, and can be an important means of communication for robotic agents. This first workshop on sound …
