Sprachen im Fluss

Uli Reich & André Amorim

The project investigates modality and information structure in the Tupi-Guarani language Nheengatu from a typological perspective. The methodology intends to encourage local participation and to support the autonomy of indigenous communities in the area.

Gender Mismatches

Sascha Gaglia and colleagues

The relationships between grammatical gender and "natural" gender are not straightforward. In this project, we take the linguistic perspective on these two terms: how they relate to each other, how they interact and what potential correspondences and discrepancies exist between the two, and how the relationships between grammatical and "natural" gender play out in language variation and linguistic typology.

Bridging contexts in semantic change

Malte Rosemeyer, Julia Heine, Rita Rumboldt, and Martín Fuchs

The EXREAN project is the first of its kind to systematically examine reanalysis and actualization processes in a laboratory setting. It brings together and integrates insights from historical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and social psychology.
