The Interactional Sociolinguistics Research Group

The Interactional Sociolinguistics Research Group studies how people communicate in social interactions, focusing on the subtle ways language conveys meaning beyond words, such as tone, gestures, and context. They examine how individuals interpret conversations and how social norms influence communication. Their work helps us understand misunderstandings, cultural differences, and effective communication strategies in diverse settings. By analyzing real-life interactions, they aim to improve social understanding, conflict resolution, and intercultural relations. The group combines linguistic analysis with social and cultural insights to explore how language shapes human interaction in everyday life.
