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?
They're here! Emotionography: Theory, Research and Practice is published today. A book Alexa Hepburn and I have been building toward for thirty years. Here's why we think it matters. 🧵 Available now from APA with links to Kindle and Vital Source - www.apa.org/pubs/books/e...

Do we have any linguist here who is actively documenting iconicity in spoken language? I would love to connect with them. Most of the people I know working on iconicity focus on their he experimental sides of things.
Linguists working on conversation data of understudied langs, what is a good goal of transcribed, translated and coded data per year for a (doc / desc) project? I made my own estimates based on a pilot case but project reviewers said it was not enough. Would love feedback from you all. #linguistics
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.
