Talking about Conversation (Research)
This website brings together (and provides a community and resources for) researchers from different disciplines who study how people interact socially through conversations.
What are "conversations"? By conversations we mean interactions that involve a communicator and at least one recipient/responder, preferably with a back-and-forth dynamic.
This includes but is not limited to researchers who study:
Social connection (via conversation)
Verbal relational strategies (e.g., attempting to influence, manage impressions, gain trust)
Conflicts and disagreement
Negotiation
Political and legal discussions
Speech acts and pragmatics
Natural language models of conversation
Theories of communication
Information seeking and hiding
