M. Luise Schwarzer
Linguist
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Linguistics at Universität Konstanz (AG Eckardt) since May 2025. I'm also the PI of project A06 Interactions of ellipsis and wh-dependencies which is part of the SFB 1760 at Universität Konstanz.
Before that I was a postdoc at NTNU in Trondheim (with Terje Lohndal, Andrew Weir). I got my PhD from Universität Leipzig in 2022 (advised by Gereon Müller, Klaus Abels).
My research interests lie in theoretical and experimental syntax and the interfaces. I work on ellipsis, coordinate structures, and movement, primarily in Germanic languages.
