8th Copenhagen Multimodality Day

Multimodality Day is an annual research seminar held at the University of Copenhagen. The seminar aims to bring together researchers who study interaction from an ethnomethodological multimodal perspective. This seminar is founded and organized by Brian L. Due.

This one-day research seminar is being prepared and organized by the Centre for Interaction Research and Communication Design at the University of Copenhagen. Registration for the seminar will be done through a website that opens after the submission deadline.

Registration

Please register for the seminar and state whether you will be joining us for dinner.

Keynote speakers

Professor Leelo Keevallik, Linköping University

  • Abstract: Beyond sequentiality

    "The broad field of interaction analysis has traditionally relied on the understanding that participants act after each other, one at a time (Sacks et al. 1974), with regular exceptions such as terminal overlap or “early” responses (Depperman et al. 2021). Several studies have, however, pointed out methods for simultaneous participation in interaction (Sidnell, 2005; Meyer, 2010; Couper-Kuhlen & Pfänder, 2019), such as the distribution of multimodal resources across participants (Hofstetter & Keevallik 2023). These are understudied in a research context that emphasizes individualized contributions in talk (Bassetti & Liberman 2021). Time is thus ripe for more explorations on whether and how participants bring about simultaneities in interaction, especially what concerns resources beyond the verbal."
