📢Join a team of linguists from USI Lugano, Basel University, University of Lausanne, and University of Neuchatel to work on #opendata in the study of #talkininteraction. Part-time assistant position, M.A. or PhD 🗓 04/2023-09/2024 📩Apply before February 15!

📋Project description:
The research assistant will contribute to the project “Data-sharing skills in corpus-based research on talk-in-interaction” short title: CHORD-Talk), which is part of the Open Research Data (ORD) program currently promoted by SwissUniversities and involves USI (leading house, coordinator: Johanna Miecznikowski) and the universities of Basel (Lorenza Mondada and Martin Luginbühl), Lausanne (Jérôme Jacquin) and Neuchâtel (Simona Pekarek). Audio-video recorded and transcribed corpora of spoken language in interaction are collected by a diversity of disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities. They are particularly complex and offer several challenges to ORD practices. The project aims at identifying the conditions that must be fulfilled in order to prepare and treat audio-video corpora of spoken language in interaction as ORD in a meaningful way. The project team members will analyse and assess existing ORD practices related to audio-video interactional data by reviewing the relevant literature, critically reflecting on their own practices, and organising workshops with international experts from leading data-hosting institutions. The team will explore possibilities to improve ORD practices, with a particular focus on researchers’ data-sharing skills and on the Swiss situation. It will engage with the concerned disciplines and communities, e.g. in the fields of interactional linguistics, conversation analysis and dialogue-oriented argumentation studies, and evaluate procedures to disseminate relevant knowledge in these communities in future.
