[We held a workshop on Conversation Analysis at the annual meeting of the Jpn Association of Sociolinguistic Sciences in September 2002.]
This workshop aims at the examination of possible directions that Conversation Analysis (developed by H. Sacks, E.A. Schegloff etc.) may be able to take, by focusing on a classical topic for human sciences, i.e., learning. We wish to demonstrate how insightful Conversation Analysis can be about human beings and language, by attacking this rather challenging topic.
