The Embodied Turn in Research on Language and Social Interaction
Abstract
I use the term the embodied turn to mean the point when interest in the body became established among researchers on language and social interaction, exploiting the greater ease of video recording. This review article tracks the growth of “embodiment” in over 400 articles published in Research on Language and Social Interaction from 1987 to 2013. I consider closely two areas where analysts have confronted challenges and how they have responded: settling on precise and analytically helpful terminology for the body, and transcribing and representing the body, particularly its temporality and manner.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
