LREC2018 Workshop Language and Body in Real Life May 7, 2018,

****************************************************************

This workshop focuses on language resources, analysis, and

applications in real-life conversational interactions. Collecting and

researching conversational corpora have mainly targeted conversations

in experimental settings, such as map task dialogs, and artificial

situations, such as chats among university students recruited for

recording. Conversations in our daily life, however, differ from those

conversations in the following aspects.

Socially-motivated activity: Everyday conversations are conducted as

  part of socially-motivated activities, such as having dinner with

  family or negotiating with a client. These activities are organized

  by participants themselves, as opposed to experimenters, in locally

  situated ways.  Multi activity: In daily life, people often engage

  in conversations while conducting some non-conversational

  activities, such as eating, cooking, and driving. In these

  situations, they simultaneously organize multi-activities in

  tactical ways: they are not just talking.  Situated use of language

  and body: In face-to-face everyday interaction, not only verbal but

  also non-verbal behaviors, such as eye-gazes and gestures, play a

  significant role. People coordinate these verbal and non-verbal

  resources to fit the context of situation.  Fluid participation

  framework: While the number of participants and participation roles

  in experimental/artificial settings are usually fixed, participants

  in everyday conversations sometimes get in and out of a

  conversation, and may split into two or more sub groups.  Thus,

  participation frameworks are often dynamically reconfigured.

  Temporal and spatial unboundedness: In daily situations, there may

  not be a strict boundary of a conversation; the opening and closing

  of a conversation can be continuous with preceding and succeeding

  activities. Similarly, in the spatial dimension, a conversation in a

  public space may involve people in the surrounding area as the

  conversation unfolds.

This workshop will provide a focal point for the growing research

community on real-life conversational interaction. We invite

submissions on all aspects of scientific and technological research on

this theme.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- State-of-the-art corpora of conversation in daily life Situated use

- of language and body in real-life interaction Management of multiple

- actions through multi-modality Reorganization of participants and

- participation frameworks Methodologies for recording and analyzing

- temporally/spatially unbounded conversations

Share your LRs!

***************

When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to

provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense,

i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have

been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of

your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the

described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and

replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones).
