Chair of English Linguistics
Welcome to the Chair of English Linguistics
The Chair of English Linguistics is dedicated to the study of the English language in all its diversity and social relevance. Our primary focus lies in sociolinguistics and language contact research – two key perspectives that shed light on the complex interplay between language and society.
In addition to teaching core areas of English linguistics, the Chair’s research focuses in particular on World Englishes, pragmatics, language and food, and digital communication. Methodologically, our work centers on corpus linguistics and discourse analysis.
We also host the Food & Language Lab, which organizes monthly online lectures on topics related to culinary linguistics during the academic term.
Another initiative associated with the Chair is the xE+ Network, a platform designed to connect researchers working in the field of Expanding Circle Englishes.
