Carmen Taleghani‐Nikazm

Carmen Taleghani-Nikazm studies how people use talk and bodily actions (like gesture and gaze) to accomplish everyday social activities, such as making invitations, coordinating turns in conversation, or managing understanding between speakers. Her work draws on conversation analysis and interactional linguistics, often examining German, Farsi, and English language data, with applications to language teaching. This research is relevant to students interested in how language and the body work together in real-time social interaction.

Publication output has been low and irregular over the last decade, with intermittent years of one or two papers and several years with none.
