Joanna Porkert

I am a Psycholinguist with a focus on Gender Linguistics, Multilingualism, and Language Typology Effects in Germanic Languages. I have focused on the event-related potential technique during my doctoral research. I am currently part of the interdisciplinary GENELLI project as postdoctoral researcher analyzing the processing of role titles in German with psycholinguistic methods under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Evelyn Ferstl.
