Adele Goldberg is Einstein Visiting Fellow
Professor of Linguistics at Princeton University coordinates transatlantic research group at the Freie Universität
Adele Goldberg, Professor of Linguistics and Associated Faculty in Psychology at Princeton University has been awarded a prestigious "Einstein Foundation Visiting Fellowship" at the Cluster of Excellence "Languages of Emotion". Adele Goldberg belongs to the small group of linguists who combine innovative theoretical development in a core area of linguistics, i.e. grammar and theory of grammar, with a developmental perspective and hands-on methodological expertise in psycholinguistic research. Goldberg's approach to grammar is exceptionally well suited to pursue interdisciplinary research pertaining to the core topic of our cluster, the relation between language and emotion.
With the support of the Einstein Foundation, Goldberg will be able to establish a research group at Freie Universität Berlin in order to extend her current research to the study of emotions. Such an approach would fill a gaping lacuna in current research: grammar, as one of the cornerstones of linguistic competence, has until now been related almost exclusively to cognitive functions while there is still virtually no research being conducted on the relation between grammar and emotion.
In the two years of her Einstein fellowship, Adele Goldberg will coordinate the work of her transatlantic research group and pay regular visits to the Freie Universität Berlin with the perspective of a lasting collaboration between the cluster "Languages of Emotion" and her lab at Princeton University.
