Editorial
Crossroads of Language, Interaction, and Culture

These proceedings include four papers from the 2008 Conference on Lan-
guage, Interaction and Culture. The conference was held at the University of
California, Los Angeles and organizd by the UCLA Center for Language, Interac-
tion, and Culture Graduate Student Association (CLIC GSA) and the Language,
Interaction, and Social Organization Graduate Student Association (LISO GSA)
at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
By examining data from psychotherapy sessions, Don Bysouth demonstrates
how a participant displays his or her cognitive state that is publicly available to
the interlocutors. He claims that cognitive underpinnings, which include thoughts,
beliefs, intentions, and memories, are accountable and have ontological status for
the participants. His research contributes to the growing area of study which bridges
talk-in-interaction and cognition.
Tanya Romaniuk examines Hillary Rodham Clintons use of laughter in news
interviews during her campaign for the Democratic nomination for president in
the United States. She fnds that Hillary Clintons laughter acts as an implicit com-
mentary on the interviewers questions. Romaniuks study serves as an important
addition to a previously undescribed phenomenon in broadcast news interviews.
Dana Osborne documents the form and function of carilla among second-
generation Mexican Americans in Los Angeles. Occurring in situations of mounting
interactional tension, in which participants are taking up divergent stance positions,
echando (doing) carilla allows participants to comment on topics that are of high
sociocultural and/or intersubjective value, such as gender, race, and class, in a
sanctioned, socially recognizable frame.
Shlomy Kattans study employs the language socialization paradigm to
examine how children acquire knowledge of authenticity. Specifcally, the study
discusses how children of Israeli emissaries in the United States learn how to dis-
tinguish between different accents of Hebrew and thereby learn how to demarcate
group authenticity.
Taken together, this volume deals with naturally occurring interaction in three
typologically distinct languages: English, Spanish, and Hebrew. While methodo-
logical orientations are rather different, they share the intellectual and theoretical
interests in language in the everyday world. We hope this volume will provide a
signifcant contribution to the feld of language, interaction, and culture.
