معرفی
Patrick Georg Grosz is a Professor of General Linguistics at the University of Oslo's Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies since 2017. Previously, he held roles as an Associate Professor (2016-2017) and Assistant Professor (Wissenschaftlicher Assistent) at the University of Tübingen (2011–2016). He earned a Ph.D. in Linguistics from MIT (2011) and a Habilitation (Double Venia Legendi) in German Linguistics and General Linguistics from the University of Tübingen (2015).
His research focuses on semantics, syntax-semantics interfaces, emoji semantics, and the pragmatics of discourse particles. Notable areas include the study of emoji meaning in digital communication, the evolution of gesture-based communication in primates, and the syntax-semantics of narrative structures in dance and music.
Recent work emphasizes the interplay between visual and linguistic meaning, such as analyzing face emoji ambiguity, exploring shared semantics between human and chimpanzee gestures, and developing formal semantic frameworks for electronic dance music's narrative grammar.
He collaborates extensively with researchers in cognitive science, musicology, and zoology. His research groups include the Language Change, Pragmatics: Theory & Experiments, and Super Linguistics initiatives at the University of Oslo.
