Yotam M. Ben-Moshe, Ph.D. (2025), University of Haifa, has published on the interactional structure of Hebrew conversation, focusing on the way reflexive sounds are integrated into language as discourse markers and interjections. He also works on syntax in medical language at Nym Health.
Anna Inbar, Ph.D. (2020), Tel Aviv University, is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Hebrew and Semitic Languages at Bar Ilan University. Her research focuses primarily on syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, with particular attention to sedimentation of multimodal semiotic resources in Hebrew and other languages, and their interplay in face-to-face interaction, drawing on methods from interactional linguistics, conversation analysis, and cognitive semiotics.
Nadav Matalon, Ph.D. (2024), The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is a postdoctoral researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Weizmann Institute of Science. His research focuses on speech prosody, particularly in natural conversational data, and he has published on Hebrew, Arabic, and English.
Leon Shor, Ph.D. (2020), Tel Aviv University, is a Lecturer in the Department of Hebrew Language at Achva Academic College. His research focuses on the discourse and grammar of spoken Hebrew from a multimodal perspective, with particular interest in the functional potential of pronominal and deictic elements, the evolution and use of discourse-pragmatic markers, the expression and conceptualization of negation, and the prosodic and gestural components of face-to-face interaction.
Nimrod Shatil, Ph.D. (1998), Tel Aviv University, is a Professor of Hebrew Language at the Academic College of Safed, and serves as President of the Israeli Linguistics Society, named in honor of Haiim B. Rosén. His research primarily focuses on contemporary Hebrew, particularly the spoken language, though he has also published studies on topics in Ancient and Medieval Hebrew. While his work centers mainly on morphological issues, some of his publications also address syntactic, lexical, and phonological phenomena.
