معرفی
Natalia Gagarina is a full Professor at the Leibniz Center for General Linguistics (ZAS), actively involved in the Collaborative Research Center 1412 (CRC 1412) titled 'Register: Language Users’ Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation'. Her work focuses on linguistic register variation, heritage speakers, and the intersection of bilingualism with native language continua.
- Researcher in the CRC 1412 network
- Co-author of foundational publications on register theory and heritage language studies
Her research spans register knowledge modeling, cross-linguistic comparisons, and language acquisition frameworks. Publications emphasize sociolinguistic variation and corpus-based analysis of formal/informal language use.
Recent work (2024) addresses situational-functional parameters in language variation, while her 2022 Frontiers in Psychology article redefines heritage speakers' integration into native speaker continua through empirical corpus analysis.
She collaborates with leading linguists across Germany and internationally, contributing to multidisciplinary projects that bridge phonetics, acquisition theory, and computational linguistics.
