Rooted in multimodal Conversation Analysis, the project Intersensoriality: Achieving the intelligibility of multimodal resources in and for social interaction deals with multisensoriality and multimodality in the organization of social interaction. It is interested in investigating the sequential impact of diverse forms of mutual, (a)symmetric sensorial access between the participants to social interaction, on how actions are formatted, produced, and interpreted in situ. In short, it aims at showing how sensoriality contributes to the shaping of accountability and intersubjectivity of multimodal resources in social interaction.
The project involves the PI, two post-docs and two PhD candidates. The doctoral research assistants receive a salary conform to the SNF conditions for full PhD positions.
