Research
- Language in social interaction in ordinary and professional settings
- Conversation analysis in English and Russian (see CA in Russian)
- Nonverbal communication
- Communication across linguistic and cultural barriers
My research examines naturally occurring, video/audio-recorded social interactions in a variety of settings: ordinary conversations between family and friends, doctor-patient interactions conducted with the help of language interpreters, and conversations among co-workers at workplaces. I have conducted research on talk in Russian and English languages, as well as bilingual Russian-English conversations. Broadly, I am interested in examining how members of different cultural and language communities pursue mutual understanding and construct interpersonal relationships in and through social interaction. I am currently researching everyday interactions in Russian immigrant families in the US.
