The "English Linguistics" group at the English department investigates the syntax, information structure, and intonation of English and concentrates on the interaction between structure and meaning. The research projects in the SFB 833 and the postgraduate program GRK 1808 in Tübingen combine empirical research, advances in theoretical research with psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic perspectives. The chair covers the following research areas:

Syntactic Theory, Minimalism, Generative Grammar
Information Structure, Focus Theory, Intonation Analysis
Syntax-Discourse Interface, Information Structure-Processing Interface
Experimental Syntax (see Prof. Dr. Sam Featherston Link)
Ambiguity, Linguistics and Rhetoric, Syntactic and Semantic Mismatches
Language in the Mind and Brain, Reorganized Language, Speech Errors
