Argument 

The final programme of the Sorbonne Nouvelle University Graduate Linguistics Symposium (SNUGLS) is out now. Everyone is welcome, especially graduate students! Camille Debras from Université Paris Ouest Nanterre-La Défense will be our SNUGLS guest speaker. After completing her PhD in English Linguistics at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3, Camille Debras is now a maître de conférences at Université Paris Ouest Nanterre-La Défense. Her research focuses on the multimodality of spoken language, or how speakers integrate speech, prosody and gesture to co-construct meaning in the course of interaction.

Since one of the major purposes of SNUGLS is to give junior researchers a chance to practise their presentation skills in English, two discussion sessions will be organised during the day to provide friendly feedback to the participants.
