معرفی
Sandra Debreslioska is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University, specializing in General Linguistics. She leads a Swedish Research Council-funded project comparing gesture production in German (spoken language) and German Sign Language (DGS) to investigate multimodal language structures at the discourse level.
- Current project: 'Gestures in spoken and signed discourse' (2020-2024)
- Key research areas: Multimodal communication, discourse analysis, gesture studies, language acquisition
- Active collaborator in international gesture research
Her research reveals that language modality significantly affects gesture patterns, particularly in information structure encoding and referent tracking. Gestures show systematic alignment with topic-comment structures and information status markers in both spoken and signed languages.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Swedish Research Council funding
- Peer-reviewed conference presentations (2022-2024)
- Active participation in 18 academic activities
She has published 14 research outputs including 6 peer-reviewed articles, 2 abstracts, and 2 book chapters, focusing on the relationship between gestures and language in multimodal contexts.
