Research Interests
Institutional interaction, conversation analysis, communication advice.Research
In august 2007 I started as a PhD Student at VU University Amsterdam. The title of my PhD-project is ''Communication advice and conversational practice in institutional settings''. The aim of my research is to gain insight into the relation between communication advice and conversational practice in institutional settings, and to contribute to theoretical development in this research area. In particular, the aim of my research is to gain insight into the characteristics of three genres of institutional communication: police interrogations, job interviews, and journalistic interviews by investigating the interactional phenomenon of ‘formulations’. Formulations are produced in very specific interactional environments or circumstances and they serve to perform specific interactional tasks which vary according to the setting (Drew, 2003). Research into this phenomenon can be useful to describe the characteristics of these three institutional genres. Central in my research is the interpretation of interactional phenomena in the context of institutional tasks and interests, and ideas that lie behind these tasks and interests. Therefore, the methodology is based on a combination of methods and theoretical principles of etnomethodology, conversation analysis and ethnography. By means of these research methods I can interpret communicative activities in institutional settings to generate insight into the interplay between language and social organization.
