Forschung

• Anaphora in long discourse units, in connection to viewpoint - especially when anaphoric expressions counter canonical co-referential rules; anaphora as a multimodal phenomenon in movies - how viewers keep track of items referred to through words, images, and intradiegetic sound
• Multimodality in communication involving music, words, and weeping from Antiquity onward: What does it mean to integrate several modes in the composition and the reception of songs/arias thematizing the shedding of tears? Focus on cross-modal iconicity, and on the blurring of agency and subjectivity
• Multimodality in papyri from Herculaneum: on the interplay between particles, word spaces, paragraph markers and metrical clausolae
• Multimodal transitions to embedded storytelling in Jordanian Arabic conversations: on grammar, prosody, gesture, gaze, facial expressions, posture and torso movements between regular conversation and story prefaces, and between story prefaces and story onsets
