General language studies, pragmatics, communication, human-robot interaction

I'm interested in how communication works and how we deal with novel technologies, such as robots. I work on persuasion and behavior change and on addressee orientation and recipient design in document design and in verbal interaction. I contribute to making robots more pleasant to use, but use human-robot interactions also to identify and study core mechanisms of human interaction.
