Contemporary schools are enlivened by a multitude of children with rather disparate linguistic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. These children spend most of their school hours in interaction with other children, engaging in multifarious activities (conflict, gossip, play, humor, task-related activities) that gradually come to constitute the local culture and social organization of their peer group. The book illustrates the multimodal and sequential organization of these mundane peer cho

Call for Papers: There is growing consensus that interactional humor is dynamic, cooperative, and co-constructed. Its study has been primarily approached from a linguocentric perspective, starting with an account of the verbal (e.g., the humorous utterance) and then further opening the analysis to a variety of other nonverbal elements, such as the social and physical context of the interaction, interlocutors’ facial expressions, or visual elements surrounding the humorous text. This perspective
