Special Session: Positioning and power relations in conversations


Description:
Discourse analysis studies examine the way speakers project their identity and 
their social characteristics via content analysis. This session aims to merge 
two domains – speech analytics and discourse studies – by tracing the 
linguist, prosodic and acoustic footprints of extra-linguistic information of 
the individual speaker per se and the speaker in relations to other 
interlocutors in the conversation. The focus of the session will be the 
process whereby speakers position themselves perceptibly and subjectively
in jointly produced conversations. The term positioning reflects the dynamic 
aspects of power relations in an interaction, which is not necessarily 
congruent with the term role, which serves to emphasize static and formal 
relations. We encourage contributions that process large scale discourse units 
(public speech, dialogues, and multi-party conversations), synergistically 
integrate techniques from the fields of speech analytics and discourse studies, 
or develop novel theory or methodologies for the study of positioning in 
conversations. 

The topics include (but are not limited to): 
Interactive Communication Management (ICM), 
conversational systems, 
conversation intelligence platform, 
positioning and power relations, 
conversation infographics.


Authors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 10 pages formatted in 
the Springer LNCS style. The full paper submission deadline is April 15, 2018.
