Speaker: Lukas Laureck

Hi, I'm an MA student of general linguistics and comparative literature (a rather random combo, I know) from Cologne.

In my BA thesis I investigated how three-participant events ('give', 'tell' etc.) are expressed in Wagi, an underdescribed dialect of Beria (Saharan, Sudan). I am currently preparing my thesis for publicaton. My main interests are linguistic typology, historical linguistics, and cognitive linguistics. I've recently become interested in critical discourse analysis, so I'll be happy to hear some of that, too!
