Fascinating. I wonder how to conceptualise it. Could one dare to say that working through EMCA corpus has made AI somewhat interactionally sensitive?! Or, as an alternative, has it just (happened to) make connections between concepts such as "projectability", "joint acitvity", "co-ordination" etc.
Perhaps an argumentative example on how such “further” extrinsic evidences can fail is his (2009) critique of Enfield’s claim that in Lao, simple person reference does “social hierarchisation” even when participants do not respond to these references in any special way.

Very valuable info! But regarding "blame-ability": could one say, for example, that you should not blame only tobacco industry, but also our body's defective weakness for lung etc. cancer? When it comes to ethics, it seems that "blame" should be related to aspects that we can control? Or not?
Some nice direct and conceptual overlaps in the list mediated by Moerman!
Over the years, I’ve sometimes given grad students the list of reading - as I then recalled it - that Sacks gave me when we first met. Yesterday, I came across my original list, while rummaging through a file folder of my earliest lecture notes from grad school. Here is the actual list. Enjoy!
Very exciting talk, series of advice, by Florence Oloff for CORE-ILCA Grant Writing Group. Funny moment of déformation professionnelle: we sent her questions the community would like her to address and she found the order in them and made collections: amazing! Thanks! #emca #coreilca
You should ask yself: what actually is growing in this economical structure? Economic growth sure doesn't determine growth of culture, cognitive capacity, happiness, well-being etc. The shiny "growth" label makes you to falsely assume that growth in economics provides these other growths.
Rather interesting phenomenon, have noticed it also myself while watching English-language movies/series with and without subs. Reading-seeing as an aid for hearing
– a nice EM research topic!
