Futures members Ibnelkaïd, Rasenberg and Dingemanse are part of a Nijmegen delegation to the AGF conference on conversation analysis in Mannheim. The theme of the conference is technology use and social interaction, and we present work on a range of technologies: the Ouija board, LLMs, and instagram reels.
Sorry to all syntacticians, but my article just came out: "Fuck syntax and fucking syntax in the borrowing of swearwords for assessments in Danish" - the reviewers did not comment on the title!
It lets you know about what "fuck" and "fucking" is used for in interaction, and how they are distributed across different syntactic constructions and how those are used for different kinds of assessments, sequentially speaking.

Conversation has structure and languages reflect these structures. #Linguistics acknowledges the importance of spoken language, but the many attempts at fulfilling the implications of thait are with mixed succes. #Conversation Analysis offers many detailed analyses of specific conversational practices and their structures as related to interaction. In this book, we collect a number of such descriptions while working towards an account of the #grammar as a whole #EMCA
