معرفی
Francisco Torreira-Martinez is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Linguistics, McGill University. His research focuses on phonetics, prosody, and interactional linguistics, with significant contributions to understanding turn-taking mechanics, intonational patterns, and multimodal communication cues in spoken interaction.
- PhD from Radboud University Nijmegen & Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
Research Themes: His work explores phonetic correlates of conversational turn-taking, prosodic markers in discourse processing, and the interplay between acoustic signals and social interaction. Recent studies apply functional data analysis to dynamic phonetic contrasts and investigate cross-linguistic universals in repair mechanisms.
Publications: His 2013-2021 publications span top journals like Frontiers in Psychology and Journal of the International Phonetic Association, with recurring themes in discourse timing, respiratory coordination during dialogue, and prosodic modeling of metrical structures.
