Research topics

At the Chair of English Linguistics (Anglistik I) we focus our research on four interconnected areas:

  1. We research monolingual and bilingual language acquisition of English and German in different psycho-social contexts.
  2. In our multilingualism research, we investigate language contact situations.
  3. Our psycholinguistic research investigates how (bilingual) language representation and processing influence cognitive and emotional processes e.g., in the area of consumer behavior.
  4. Our applied linguistic  research considers interfaces between language acquisition and empirical educational research in school contexts, language assessment and training as well as professional development in those areas.

We create strong links between research and teaching. For example, our Bachelor and Master students work with authentic data from research projects and conduct interdisciplinary psycholinguistic experiments in our eye-tracking lab.
These pages offer information about our research projects and publications.
