Hannah J. Seemann
I am a PostDoc at Britta Stolterfoht’s psycholinguistics lab at the University of Tübingen. Working together with the CRC Common Ground, my main research focus is on the processing of pragmatic markers and their signaling function in discourse. At the same time, I am also generally interested in corpus linguistics and social media, especially in the language-external factors driving individual variation in language use.
In my dissertation project, I studied German modal particles as cues for
coherence relations. I showed that these particles serve as
signals in discourse: They influence which relation is perceived,
but do not facilitate discourse relations.
