Editorial Scope
Research on Language and Social Interaction is a multidisciplinary journal committed to publishing outstanding research focused on the organization and dynamics of language and embodied conduct as vehicles of social interaction. Studies of casual conversation, institutional settings, interaction mediated by computer and other new technologies, and research on interaction across cultures and languages are within the journal’s purview. Research may involve the close analysis of interaction based on interview and observational data, collected in the laboratory or the field. Diverse approaches to the study of interaction are encouraged, including, but not limited to, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and observational and ethnographic studies. Quantitative research on such naturally occurring interaction can also be appropriate Papers that review and schematize existing research and theory or propose solutions to existing methodological or theoretical problems are also welcome. Please contact the editor at rolsi@soc.ucsb.edu if you have questions concerning the appropriateness of a paper for the journal Also, a free sample of ROLSI can be viewed at the Lawrence Erlbaum site by clicking the"Online Access and TOC Alerting Service" button and scrolling down for the "free" icon(s).
