Katja Sonnert is a researcher at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's Department of German Language and Linguistics. Her work focuses on register theory, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics, particularly investigating how formality, morphosyntax, and verb-argument congruence interact during language processing. She contributes to the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1412 'Register: Language Users' Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation', exploring language variation across modalities and cultural contexts. Her methods include eye-tracking, visual-world paradigms, and corpus analyses. Recent studies highlight register effects in real-time comprehension and the cognitive mechanisms underlying formality judgments. She collaborates extensively with colleagues on interdisciplinary projects, publishing in journals like Acta Psychologica and Discourse Processes.
