Beyond Discourse: An Introduction to Conversation Analysis in Linguistics Research and Elsewhere


Please join us for our next LUCDH lunchtime talk presented by Keerthi Sridharan Vaidehi (PhD candidate) on Tuesday, 13 February 2024 at 12:00 – 13:00 (CET). 

In this talk, I will introduce Conversation Analysis (CA), a transcription-based analytic model for spontaneous speech in audiovisual settings. Positioning CA in relation to and in conversation with discourse analysis (DA), this talk examines how and why such an intricate and time-consuming analytical approach can be deeply insightful for research on discursive practice. Featuring a live walkthrough of the conversation analytic transcription process and a brief overview of how transcription works in CLAN and LaTeX, this talk will delve into the various applications for CA within its core fields of Stylistics and Linguistics, but also its relevance to other disciplines, from Game Studies to Theater Studies.
