Our research
Our current research initiatives focus on inter- and transculturality, as well as sustainability issues in contemporary German-language literature. In the field of linguistics, we examine cognitive and social aspects of bilingualism and multilingualism, the relationship between language and politics, historical sociolinguistics, and onomastics. Furthermore, our work encompasses Digital Humanities in both modern and historical linguistics, linguistic interaction in digital media (CALL/CMC), and the development and instruction of writing skills.
