Interactions, either face-to-face or over the phone, are the basis of social life. The goal of this course is to learn how to study interactions. The course combines theoretical topics with data sessions of real interactions. We will discuss how to collect data, how to transcribe it, and how to analyze it based on the common structures of human interaction. Structures such as turn-taking, repairs, and story-telling will be covered.
