Open Office Hours with Senior researchers on a variety of topics in their expertise
All the members of the CORE-ILCA community express their gratitude to Jörg Bergmann, Barbara Fox, Richard Ogden, Chase Raymond and Sandra Thompson for the time dedicated to the ECRs, within the project ‘Open Office Hours: meet the professors.’ and for offering their expertise to younger research, thereby helping their development.

Our interest groups
Within our community we treat three different linguistic topics at the moment which we hope to expand in the next few months:
- L2 interaction
- Nonlexical vocalizations
- Collaborative turns
- Grammar in Interaction
- Phonetics in interaction
