Luka Szucsich is a Full Professor of East Slavic Languages at the Faculty of Linguistics and Literature, Humboldt University of Berlin. He specializes in Slavic syntax, generative grammar, and language contact phenomena, with a focus on Russian, Ukrainian, and Burgenland Croatian. As spokesperson for the DFG-funded SFB 1412 'Register' since 2024, his research investigates register variation and hybrid lects in multilingual contexts.
- Studied at University of Vienna (1987-1995) and University of Leipzig (1997-2000)
- Held research positions at Max Planck Institute and various European universities
His research interests span syntax, word order, grammatical features, and theoretical frameworks like the Minimalist Program. He has conducted extensive comparative studies across Slavic languages, examining phenomena such as subjunctive mood, adverbial constructions, and heritage language structures.
Recent publications analyze syntax in heritage Russian, VO/SVO typology, and clause-embedding predicates. Articles demonstrate his expertise in generative approaches to Slavic linguistics, with recurring themes of feature activation, morphological defaults, and cross-linguistic variation.

- Austrian Research Foundation Grant (2007/2008)
He supervises research assistants and collaborates with institutions including Adam Mickiewicz University, University of Poznań, and Novi Gorici University. His work bridges theoretical linguistics, historical language change, and computational corpus development through initiatives like the Digital Interdisciplinary Historical Corpus of Ukrainian (DiaUk).
