At the #icca2026 @iscaupdates.bsky.social general assembly I observed that the resources currently offered to the public and to members are quite skewed towards only one CA founder, and called for more visibility for the others. Specifically, how cool would it be to have Sacks' Nachlass digitalised?

Screenshot of ISCA website with "Resources" menu, showing Schegloff Transcription Module, Schegloff Media Archive, Schegloff Publications Archive, and under the Member-only resources the Schegloff Lectures, Schegloff Course Data, and Jefferson Index.

The latter is Jefferson's index to Sacks' lectures, so not a representation of Jefferson's contributions or publications.

bare minimum for holding a conversation #emca

(1) Speaker-change recurs, or at least occurs (cf. $4.1, below). (2) Overwhelmingly, one party talks at a time (cf. $4.2). (3) Occurrences of more than one speaker at a time are common, but brief (cf. $4.3). (4) Transitions (from one turn to a next) with no gap and no overlap are common. Together with transitions characterized by slight gap or slight overlap, they make up the vast majority of transitions (cf. $4.4). (5) Turn order is not fixed, but varies (cf. $4.5). (6) Turn size is not fixed, but varies (cf. 44.6). (7) Length of conversation is not specified in advance (cf. $4.7). (8) What parties say is not specified in advance (cf. $4.8). (9) Relative distribution of turns is not specified in advance (cf. $4.9). (10) Number of parties can vary (cf. $4.10). (11) Talk can be continuous or discontinuous (cf. 44.11). (12) Turn-allocation techniques are obviously used. A current speaker may select a next speaker (as when he addresses a question to another party); or parties may self-select in starting to talk (cf. $4.12). (13) Various 'turn-constructional units' are employed; e.g., turns can be projectedly 'one word long', or they can be sentential in length (cf. $4.13). (14) Repair mechanisms exist for dealing with turn-taking errors and violations; e.g., if two parties find themselves talking at the same time, one of them will stop prematurely, thus repairing the trouble (cf. 44.14).

New research and resource from Chase Raymond @saulalbert.bsky.social @elliotthoey.bsky.social et al: The Corpus of Language Discrimination in Interaction (CLDI): #OpenAccess database of (depressingly timely) recordings of people being policed for the #language they speak emcawiki.net/CLDI #EMCA

Screenshot of article title, authors, abstract:
This article introduces the Corpus of Language Discrimination in Interaction (CLDI)—an open-access corpus of transcribed video data, capturing moments where individuals are policed in some way for the language they are speaking or otherwise endorsing while sharing public space
(e.g. in stores, restaurants, parking lots, and parks). Despite having thus far largely evaded systematic inquiry, such interactions are illustrative of a particular genre of language policymaking and enforcement that takes place in everyday social life, which the CLDI aims to document and
make available for ongoing empirical examination. After presenting the corpus itself, as an initial exploration into some of the practices and actions observable in these data, we describe the recurrent
use of Speak English directives, accompanied by nation-state declarative accounts like This is
America. Detailed analysis of such turns, and the responses they receive, throws into relief ways
that language policies and ideologies can be instantiated, ratified, challenged, defended, and otherwise
negotiated in and through the particulars of interactants’ joint conduct. We conclude by
describing some future avenues for research, teaching, and public engagement on the basis of the
CLDI.*

On the Other Site, I regularly sought out other trans ethnomethodologists & conversation analysts. I've never come across any. It sucks because our analytic resources (esp. Membership Categorisation Analysis) are absolutely necessary for adequately describing instances of transphobia/transmisogyny.

Appreciate this etymological account of the word ‘wife’ ramping up at the very last sentence for absolutely no reason

The modern sense of "female spouse" began as a specialized sense in Old English; the general sense of "woman" is preserved in midwife, old wives' tale, etc. Middle English sense of "mistress of a household" survives in housewife; and the later restricted sense of "tradeswoman of humble rank" in fishwife. By 1883 as "passive partner in a homosexual couple." Wife-swapping is attested from 1954.
