Marianthi Koraka

Marianthi Koraka is a researcher at the Sign Language team of the University of Göttingen since 2021. She is currently pursuing her doctorate in the Research Training Group 2636: "Form Meaning Mismatches" under the supervision of Markus Steinbach and Nivedita Mani, focusing on the imperative mode in sign languages. Her work explores structures and markers in German Sign Language (DGS) and Greek Sign Language (GSL) at the language-gesture interface.

• Bachelor's in Greek Philology from the University of Ioannina, Greece

• Three-month visiting student at Pompeu Fabra University, working on the European SIGN-HUB project (Horizon 2020) under Josep Quer and Giorgia Zorzi

Her research interests center on sign language linguistics, speech acts, and the interplay between manual/non-manual linguistic markers and speech-accompanying gestures. These topics bridge theoretical linguistics, multimodal communication, and cross-linguistic comparative studies in sign languages. She is affiliated with the University of Göttingen’s Sign Language team and the Research Training Group 2636.
