Thomas Herbst serves as a Professor in the Department of English and American Studies within the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology at Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). With a distinguished career spanning over four decades, his research has significantly contributed to linguistic theory and practice. His current work focuses on advancing construction grammar frameworks and their practical applications in language learning and lexicography. Professor Herbst's research interests center on Construction Grammar, Valency Theory, and Lexicography, with particular emphasis on the intersection between lexical and syntactic patterns. His scholarly work explores how constructions—recurring patterns of language—shape meaning, communication, and language acquisition. He has pioneered approaches to constructing constructicons (comprehensive inventories of constructions) and has made significant contributions to understanding how valency patterns function in English and other languages. His research bridges theoretical linguistics with practical applications in language teaching, dictionary compilation, and translation studies, particularly examining how multimodal elements like gesture and accent contribute to meaning in audiovisual contexts. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory exploring constructional networks, argument structure, and the practical implementation of construction grammar in language learning. His work increasingly focuses on digital applications of linguistic theory, including constructicon development and computational implementations. Herbst's research demonstrates a strong commitment to making linguistic theory accessible and applicable to language learners, teachers, and lexicographers, with particular attention to how constructions manifest in second language acquisition and dictionary usage. Throughout his extensive career, Professor Herbst has maintained an active role in academic service, editing journals and special issues that have shaped discourse in construction grammar and lexicography. His editorial work for publications like Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik and contributions to major reference works have provided essential platforms for scholarly exchange in his fields of expertise.
