Prof. Dr. Oliver Ehmer

I am a full professor in Romance Linguistics at the University of Osnabrück (Institut für Romanistik und Latinistik). My research focuses on language in its context of use, mainly in oral communication but also in written media. I am inspired by interactional, cognitive and usage-based linguistic approaches. On November 25, 2021 I was accepted into the Heisenberg programme (DFG). The funding is awarded for 3 (+ 2) years, starting in April 2022 with a Heisenberg-Professorship.

My research interests include:

  • Linguistic structure, social interaction and cognition
  • Language variation and change
  • Digital humanities, language corpora, corpus technology

My current projects focus on:
