Welcome all to my poetry page I’m letting you all visit my cage To see what inspires me, what makes me tick Taste me like ice cream, go on have a lick I like to shock, to cause a fuss Stir emotion and occasionally to cuss If I didn’t get reaction, my drug, my food… Continue reading A poet’s interaction with you!| Listerslyrics

TL;DR: It takes two to tell a story: narrator and audience. Response tokens or continuers like ‘mhmm’ play a key role in making stories work. Two new papers extend the study of continuers across languages and modalities. Work by Lutzenberger et al. reveals the importance of minimal tokens that don’t occupy the main articulators in British Sign Language and Spoken British English. And a study by Börstell showcases a neat methodological replication and extension of the sequential search ...| The Ideophone
A fundamental fact about human minds is that they are never truly alone: all minds are steeped in situated interaction. In this manifesto we make the case for putting interaction at the heart of cognition. This represents a figure-ground reversal for the cognitive sciences, which traditionally have focused on single minds. Read our piece in Cognitive Science, or head directly to the PDF.| Mark Dingemanse
No matter how dissatisfied people are with the results they are getting, they rarely question their way of trying to get results. When what we are doing is not working, we do not try doing something totally different. Instead, we try harder by doing more of what seems self-evidently the right way to proceed. But when styles differ, more of the same is usually met with more of the same from the other party as well. As a result, far from solving the problem, our efforts only make things...| Dr. James Schroeder
Interactive repair is like a searchlight that can sweep through the syntactic structures of turns at talk. In some of my presentations I’ve used this animation showing the ways in which repair formats zoom in on different parts of clausal structure. Every language user is exposed to repair from very early on, and so it is one of the key processes through which we are able to pick up the intricacies of grammatical structure.| Mark Dingemanse

I've just returned form a ten day stint in community with the Albion Faeries (an LGBTQ collective) and to say it was a life changing experience is an understatement. I've experienced community living before, having lived in a young people's community when I was twenty. A couple of years later I worked for a hotel chain and as a live in member of staff I became a community member by default. | Sacred Tarot

Why do we check back hoping against hope, wishing against any shred of life relevance that someone has replied to what was obviously the most damn clever and important thing any human could have ever said today? We keep on checking so that we matter, and that someone cares. If| Halfman
Language is what makes us human: one of those things, perhaps the one thing, that sets us apart. But there is an interesting asymmetry in our willingness to ascribe linguistic capacities to non-humans: animals tend to be seen as having none, whereas computers are increasingly thought to have mastered language. This asymmetry is the focus of a recent essay I co-authored with a range of people, led by Marlou Rasenberg.1| The Ideophone
Why do jokes come in rounds, like drinks? And what makes them an interactional safe haven in a group therapy session? These are some of the unlikely questions you encounter if you’re reading Harvey Sacks’ Lectures on Conversation, a two volume compendium of his groundbreaking work on the structure of conversation. Originally given in the 1960s and early 1970s, these lectures are full of original insights and sparkling observations. Here’s the relevant bit on jokes from Lecture 12 in par...| The Ideophone
We have a new paper out in which we argue that the robustness and flexibility of human language is underpinned by a machinery of interactive repair. Repair is normally thought of as a kind of remedial procedure: a system for handling clarification questions, just one of those things we need to stay out of communicative trouble. Simply put (and oversimplifying only a bit), we argue we wouldn’t have complex language if it weren’t for this system of interactive repair.| The Ideophone
There is a minor industry in speech science and NLP devoted to detecting and removing disfluencies. In some of our recent work we’re showing that treating talk as sanitised text can adversely impact voice user interfaces. However, this is still a minority position.
