Josiane BOUTET
Josiane Boutet is a Professor Emeritus at the Sorbonne University. She was one of the founders of sociolinguistics in France in the 1970s. For many years, she directed the multidisciplinary journal Langage & Société, which she co-founded in 1976. She contributed to the creation of the study of language at work, a multidisciplinary scientific field that she developed through numerous publications, articles and books, most notably in 2008, La vie verbale au travail. Des manufactures aux centres d’appels. In 2016, she published Le pouvoir des mots (new edition, La Dispute), a linguist's political book describing, through the examination of numerous historical and political situations, the inherent power of language practices; and this, by means of different linguistic procedures (argumentative, rhetorical, discursive, etc.). The book was aimed at both the professional research community and citizens confronted in their daily lives with the uses and misuses of words, and the effectiveness of discourse; and it was received as such, the author having been invited to numerous political and trade union debates. Her latest work, Marcel Cohen. Linguiste engagé dans son siècle (1884-1974), published in 2024 by Lambert-Lucas, is devoted to the biography of this great linguist, somewhat forgotten in academic memory, who was, among other interests and skills, one of the precursors of sociolinguistics in France.

Simona PEKAREK DOELHER
Simona Pekarek Doelher is a Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland). Her research investigates how participants in face-to-face communicative exchange use linguistic and bodily resources (looks, gestures, etc.) to perform and coordinate social actions, and how, in turn, these resources emerge from the interaction process itself. Her current research interests include the development of second-language interaction skills, grammar-in-interaction from a multimodal perspective, and methodological issues related to the longitudinal study of social interactions. She has recently co-edited the following collections : The grammar-body interface in social interaction (Frontiers in Psychology/Communication, 2022), Longitudinal studies in Conversation Analysis(ROLSI, 2021), Early responses: Projection and the temporal coordination of actions (Discourse Processes, 2021).
