Another great CAN-Asia event. Conversation Analysis Network – Asia brought together a wide range of studies on Second Language research. Spencer Hazel and Adam Brandt presented work on Conversational AI and the challenges this presents to L2 speakers Newcastle University MARG Newcastle

We all know the desperate feeling we get when we hear, yet again, that "93%" (or whatever) of communication is non-verbal. But where did the idea come from, and why won't it go away? Gonen Dori-Hacohen has tracked it all down in a fascinating ROLSI.net blog.

We are very sad to share this note from John Heritage on the death of Emanuel Schegloff: “It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Manny Schegloff has died. He was an intellectual giant and a dear colleague who leaves an extraordinary legacy of scholarship.”

Very sad news.

Looking forward to this one! #EMCA #MCA
