level is appropriate, including, but not limited to, work in
cognitive science, conversational analysis, communication
studies, critical discourse analysis, interactional
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, rhetoric,
psychology, sociology, and text linguistics. The deadline

The conference will begin late morning Friday and end late
