Dr. Emilia Nottbeck is a Scientific Associate at the Institute for English and American Studies, Faculty of Cultural Studies, University of Paderborn. She has been working at the university since 2012, progressing from Student Assistant to her current position under Professor Langstrof's department since October 2024. Previously, she worked under Professor Mindt from 2016-2024.
- Master of Arts in Linguistics (University of Paderborn, 2011-2015)
- Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics, historical comparative linguistics, phonetics and Portuguese (University of Cologne, 2007-2010)
Dr. Nottbeck specializes in Second Language Acquisition with a particular focus on prosody and turn-taking behavior. Her research examines how L2 learners use prosodic cues to predict turn-ends in conversation, a critical component of fluent dialogue. She has been developing this line of inquiry since at least 2018 through her dissertation work titled 'Predicting Turn-Ends of Questions. The Role of Prosody in SLA.'
Her recent publications (2019-2024) consistently address the intersection of prosody, turn-taking, and second language processing, demonstrating a focused research trajectory within linguistic pragmatics and conversation analysis. The publications reveal increasing sophistication in experimental design and theoretical framing within Processability Theory.
- Modelling Relative Clauses in Processability Theory using Lexical Functional Grammar (2019)
- Turn-Taking in SLA: Investigating the Role of Prosody (2021)
- Reconsidering the Role of Prosody for Turn-Taking in Second Language Acquisition (2022)
- Investigating Speed-up Processes in Experimental Research Design in SLA (2023)
- Turn-Taking and L2 Learners: The Role of Prosodic Cues (2023)
- Turn-Taking in Second Language Acquisition: How do L2 learners make use of prosody in turn-end predictions? (2024)
Dr. Nottbeck actively supervises students through internship courses and teaches across the linguistics curriculum including Semantics, Methodological Foundations, and specialized topics like Language, Reality and Power. She is currently organizing the 23rd International Symposium on Processability Approaches to Language Acquisition (PALA 2025), demonstrating leadership in her academic community.
Her office is located in building J4.202 at Warburger Str. 100, Paderborn, with appointments required for office hours.
