Nonhuman situational enmeshments—How participants build temporal infrastructures for ChatGPT

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 1, May 2026.
Abstract This paper investigates how participants recruit Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT as interactional co‐participants depending on their temporal enmeshment within an interactional flow. Using Charles Goodwin's co‐operative action framework, we analyze video data of human–AI interaction to trace the temporal structures established by ...

The sexual selection of hominin bipedalism

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
In this article, I advance a novel hypothesis on the evolution of hominin bipedalism. I begin by arguing extensively for how the transition to bipedalism must have been problematic for hominins during the Neogene.
