Dr S. Bögels (Sara)

My research focuses on interactive language use and the factors that affect it and are affected by it. I am interested in the coordination between communicative partners, both at the level of mutual understanding, and at the level of timing and turn-taking. For example, how do speakers know when to start planning their turn and when the last speaker has finished? I am also interested in the effects of digital communication, such as online meetings and chat. Next to that, I am a part of the Healthy Data Program in which I apply my expertise to health communication, such as in doctor-patient interactions.
