Instructor: Prof Zhuo Jing-Schmidt
Abstract:
Suppose we all want to produce compelling research and publish. How do we do it?
Normally, we notice a linguistic phenomenon, conduct literature review, identify research gaps, evaluate theoretical models, form hypotheses, collect and analyze data, present and explain results, and conclude.
It happens sometimes, or even often, that we think we have all the necessary components of a scholarly paper, yet the product ends up going nowhere. We may submit and get rejected or we are asked to revise but we procrastinate and let go because it's too much. Either way, we are disappointed, frustrated, exhausted, and under-published.
What is missing? In this part of the workshop, I address what I think is a key to compelling research production – scholarly storytelling.
We will discuss what it takes to tell a compelling story about your data and how to go about doing it methodically to produce research that is interesting, fulfilling, and publishable.
Corpus Approaches to Chinese Discourse and Grammar
Instructor: Prof Tao Hongyin
Abstract:
In this workshop, we will explore some of the most commonly used methods and techniques in working with computerized spoken, written, and multimodal corpora in Mandarin (and other varieties of Chinese). Topics include ways with which corpora can be gathered, processed, annotated/coded, exploited, and visualized for research into patterns of language use.
Conversation Analysis Clinic (A & B)
Instructor:
Workshop 5: Prof KK Luke
Workshop 6: Asst Prof Ni-Eng Lim
Abstract:
CA is becoming increasingly popular among scholars and researchers who strive to better understand forms and meanings of language in use. While data collection and transcription are relatively straightforward (at least in everyday life settings), when it comes to analysing a piece of data, it is not always clear how one should proceed. Theoretical and methodological notions such as turn-taking, overlapping, repair, or sequential context may seem vaguely graspable, and yet one often feels at a loss as to how to apply them to an actual piece of data to good effect.
In this workshop, we will take time to show you through close, context-sensitive analyses of real-life examples, how CA is done. Participants will have the opportunity to send in short pieces of data for analysis and discussion under the guidance of the ‘instructors/clinicians’. The sessions will be highly interactive, data-driven and participant-driven.
You are free to take either Clinic A ($25), Clinic B ($25) or both ($50).
北京话里的引语：形式与功能
Instructor: Prof Fang Mei
Abstract:
通过北京话自然口语的独白和对话,探讨引语的表达形式、引述中的角色扮演、言者的立场表达，说明句法、词汇、韵律手段如何用于表现言谈中的角色转换、引语边界、多重引述中的层级关系以及讲述者对其引述对象的态度。
Multimodal analysis of Chinese Interaction
Instructor: Prof Li Xiaoting
Abstract:
In face-to-face interaction, participants produce and orient to not only talk but also bodily-visual behaviors. This workshop introduces a CA- and IL-informed multimodal analytical method of Chinese face-to-face interaction that incorporates the analysis of grammar, prosody, bodily-visual behavior, and sequence in situated activities.
