PhD (1997) and Habilitation (2005) from University of Vienna FWF research projects on Austrian German written language development (1998-2001, 2002-2005) Numerous international research stays including MIT (2022), Tokyo (2017), and Bristol (2015) Rössler's research centers on historical aspects of German language structure with particular emphasis on grapholinguistics and punctuation systems. His work examines orthographic variation, standardization processes, and language change from the Early New High German period through contemporary usage. He investigates how writing systems reflect social, regional, and confessional identities while maintaining interest in morphological and syntactic developments across historical periods. His recent publications reveal consistent focus on diachronic punctuation studies, with particular attention to the 18th century as a critical period for orthographic standardization. The research demonstrates how typographic elements like the virgule evolved into modern comma usage, reflecting broader processes of linguistic codification and variation.
