Simona Pekarek Doehler is professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In her research she seeks to understand how participants to talk-in-interaction use grammatical constructions combined with bodily conduct as resources to accomplish social actions and how, in turn, linguistic and communicative resources (e.g., second language interactional competence) emerge from the process of interaction in situ and over time. Her current research interests are reflected in the recent Special Issues that she co-edited: The grammar-body interface in social interaction (Frontiers in Psychology/Communication, 2021), Longitudinal studies in Conversation Analysis (ROLSI, 2021), Early responses: Projection and the temporal coordination of actions (Discourse Processes, 2021).
