Jörg Förstner

Jörg Förstner serves as a Lecturer and Doctoral student at the Institute of Linguistics, Department of Linguistics/German Studies (ILG) at the University of Stuttgart, contributing to both teaching and research missions within the department.

His research centers on syntactic-semantic interfaces, specifically examining how theta role extension impacts valence-controlled coherence in German language structures. This work intersects theoretical linguistics with German language studies, focusing on the morphosyntactic manifestations of semantic roles and their discourse-level implications.

Complementing his academic work, Förstner participates in the Editorial group for advanced language courses for upper secondary school, applying his linguistic expertise to curriculum development for high school German education through practical pedagogical frameworks.
