Departments

Department of German Linguistics

In the field of German Linguistics, we devote ourselves to the German language – its structure and its system, but also, primarily, with different ways of using language in society.

About the Research Group

Head of the Research Group: Prof. Dr. Nina Janich

Our focus is on text, discourse and variety linguistics. We are particularly interested in questions of applied linguistics (e.g. on language in professional life as well as in scientific exchange or in advertising). In addition, we are involved in various interdisciplinary cooperations with the social and natural sciences.

Science Culture: We cannot work without hoping that others will get further than us. (Max Weber)

Insight and knowledge, the research process and knowledge transfer, thinking styles and scientific self-image – we are interested in how this is reflected in language and communication, in texts, conversations and discourses … as a linguistically describable expression of scientific language culture.
