PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 28 February 2012

The Interpersonal Communication and Social Interaction section
welcomes contributions that focus on the study of human interaction
and human communicative behaviour. The core is constituted of contacts
and bonds between people, whether in private or public contexts,
whether face-to-face or through various communication technologies.
The research fields and theory development areas of interpersonal
communication and social interaction are wide-ranging. They include
interpersonal relationships, relationship formation, development and
termination, group and team communication, conversational
organisation, verbal and nonverbal communication, public speaking,
radio and television performance, rhetoric, argumentation, persuasion
and mutual influence, communicative competence and interpersonal
skills, ethnography of speaking, and other related approaches to human
social interaction. All kinds of contexts are welcome (e.g., family,
work, instructional, political, health), as are all methodologies
(qualitative, quantitative, mixed).

Abstracts should be written in English and contain a clear outline of
the argument, the theoretical framework, and, where applicable,
methodology and results. The preferred length of the individual
abstracts is between 400 and 500 words (the maximum is 500 words).
Panel proposals --which should consist of five individual
contributions--, combine a panel abstract with five individual
abstracts, each of which are between 400 and 500 words.

Participants may submit more than one proposal, but only one paper or
poster by the same first author might be accepted. First authors can
still be second (or third, etc.) author of other papers or posters,
and can still act as chair or respondent of a panel.

All proposals should be submitted through the conference website from
1 December 2011 to 28 February 2012. Early submission is strongly
encouraged. Please note that this submission deadline will not be
extended.
