Bio
I'm an Assistant Professor at Paris-Est Créteil University where I teach English linguistics and phonology in the English Department.
My research is grounded within the frameworks of Interactional Linguistics, Usage-based Grammar, and Gesture Studies. I conducted my Ph.D. on fluency and disfluency phenomena and the interplay between different articulators such as the face, the body, eye gaze, and hand gesture, to offer a multi-level interactional model of fluency.
I now work with various types of data (oral presentations, semi-spontaneous interactions, family dinners, task-oriented dialogues) across different languages (English, French, French Sign Language, and Finnish) where I study multimodal interactional dynamics, pragmatic markers, multi-activity, feedback processes, and features of Second Language Acquisition.
