Prof. Dr. Guido Mensching holds a Professorship for Romance Linguistics at the University of Göttingen's Department of Romance Philology, specializing in generative grammar and medieval textual studies. His research spans minimalist syntax of Romance languages, medieval medical-botanical texts in Romance languages (particularly in Hebrew script), and comprehensive Sardinian linguistics including historical documentation and multimedia representation. Research interests focus on generative grammar frameworks applied to Romance syntactic structures, with significant contributions to medieval glossary studies examining Hebrew-script manuscripts containing Ibero-Romance, Arabic, and Latin elements. His Sardinian research encompasses historical linguistics, morphosyntactic analysis, and digital documentation initiatives. Current methodological approaches integrate minimalist program theory with digital humanities tools for textual analysis. Research output demonstrates consistent focus on three interconnected domains: (1) syntactic analysis of Romance languages through minimalist frameworks; (2) philological examination of medieval multilingual medical-botanical texts; (3) comprehensive documentation of Sardinian language structures. Publication trends show increasing integration of computational methods for lexical database development, particularly in the DiTMAO (Dictionnaire des Termes Médico-botaniques de l'Ancien Occitan) project. Research funding has been consistently secured through the German Research Foundation (DFG), supporting multiple long-term collaborative projects examining Hebrew-script medical manuscripts across European collections. These projects demonstrate sustained interdisciplinary collaboration between Romance linguistics, Judaic studies, and computational philology. Professional activities include editorial responsibilities for linguistic journals and organization of international research colloquia. Current work continues the critical edition of medieval medical texts while expanding digital infrastructure for Romance linguistic research.
