Welcome to the LSI Archive
The archive contains participant consented video recordings of everyday social and work settings and is intended to provide source materials for research in language and communication and pedagogical purposes. The data were collected by students taking communication studies courses in language and social interaction courses at San Francisco State University. The archive is particularly rich in interactions in family and peer settings, but also includes organizational meetings and workplace interactions between co-workers. Archive holdings are updated periodically.
