Marina N. Cantarutti

I am a PhD candidate in Language and Communication at the University of York, UK. I am particularly interested in the phonetics of talk-in-interaction. At present, I am exploring the prosodic and sequential design of (dis)association in interaction, following the methodology and theoretical constructs of Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics.

I hold an MA in English Language, a degree in English Language Teaching, a specialisation in English Phonetics & Phonology, and a diploma in Educational Technology.

**Teaching Experience**

I have lectured in Applied Phonetics and in Discourse Analysis in several HE colleges and universities (both at teacher training colleges and translation programmes) in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I am also an EFL teacher, and I worked as an EFL pre- and in-service teacher trainer for a decade. I frequently blog, curate web materials, and make presentations on English phonetics and pronunciation teaching as part of my informal Pronunciation Bites project.

**Previous research background**

I have done independent and team research on prosody-discourse interfaces in English, and on the teaching of prosodic configurations of different speech genres from the perspectives of Systemic Functional Linguistics and Discourse Intonation. I have collaborated briefly with a research team on grammar and interaction in Riverplate Spanish.
