Talking "Race" & Ethnicity
The workshop will be working on an expanded version of one of the pieces of data presented in the Sociology Colloquium talk from the previous day. Participants would benefit from coming to that talk as well (see below), and bringing their data handouts from the talk to the workshop — although that's not essential, and spare copies will be available, too. This workshop will address issues of how to work across data extracts as well as intensively with one piece of data; and how to "harvest" a range of phenomena from a single data extract.
Note: the Sociology Colloquium talk is Wednesday, May 13th at noon in the Ellison Hall (UCSB) Conference Room (room 2834).

This workshop will look at folk linguistic interview data from the point of view of a variety of pragmatic devices modified to shed light on the content (rather than the structure) of the talk. Of course, in some cases, the structure (broadly conceived) will aid as a clue to the content, so those who believe that separation of form and content is impossible will not be completely horrified at this approach. In particular, participants will look, with me, at argument theory, pronominal resources (both those related to "topic" as well as speaker and hearer footing), topically-shaded discourse markers, and lexically-triggered presuppositions of various sorts. If there is any time left, we will outline (but surely not be able to apply) some of vantage theory that have been useful in saying something about what real people say about language.
Amy Kyratzis
This workshop will be looking at code-switching in children's bilingual play.
