The volume contains a collection of papers on spoken language: how to represent it, analyse it, and explain it, without resorting to preconceived notions from text-based linguistics.The papers were presented at the symposium SJUSK 2011 - 1st Conference on Contemporary Speech Habits, held at CBS, Copenhagen, in November 2011.Copenhagen Studies in Language carries studies in both language for general purposes and language for special purposes (LSP).Its scope covers grammar, semantics, pragmatics, spoken language, text linguistics and translation, from a theoretical as well as an applied perspective.It is the editors- policy to bring out thematic volumes. While based at the Copenhagen Business School, the series is open to contributions from linguists in all parts of the world.

This publication presents a selection of the papers and posters thatwere presented at the SJUSK 2013 conference, held at Copenhagen Business School in March 2013 (www.cphspeech2013.dk).It describes spoken language phenomena from many different languages, including Modern Irish, Russian, Hungarian, Latin American Spanish, European Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Dutch, and British English. It is our hope that the papers may contribute to the reader's understanding of the challenging diversity of speech in action.
