Svitlana Antonyuk-Yudina

Svitlana Antonyuk-Yudina serves as a Lise Meitner senior postdoctoral researcher at the University of Graz, Austria, within the Institute of German Studies under the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project M 3361-G "Deriving Discourse Configurationality of (East) Slavic" led by Prof. Victor Edgar Onea Gaspar.

Her research centers on syntax-semantics interfaces, argument structure, and information structure in East Slavic languages (Ukrainian and Russian), with specific expertise in quantification, Instrumental syntax, Object Shift phenomena, and the realization of Givenness/Focus. Current investigations explore aspect-argument structure relations in East Slavic and cross-linguistic scope freezing, while her interests increasingly extend to generative typology and contact-induced language change.

Dr. Antonyuk-Yudina holds the prestigious Lise Meitner Fellowship from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

She is actively engaged in the FWF project M 3361-G and co-edits two Special Collection volumes for Glossa: a journal of general linguistics, with experimental work mapping East Slavic syntactic structures to prosodic realization upcoming.
