Dr. Katja Maquate is a Researcher at the Institute for German Language and Linguistics within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She is actively involved in the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC 1412) with a specific focus on project C03: "Real-time register comprehension in adolescent heritage speakers' languages." Her research spans multiple aspects of language processing with particular emphasis on how social context influences linguistic comprehension. Maquate's research interests center around language register processing, examining how formality levels in language interact with syntactic and semantic processing during comprehension. Her work investigates the real-time processing of register congruence effects using eye-tracking methodologies in both written and spoken language comprehension. She explores how contextual formality information rapidly impacts sentence processing, interacts with morphosyntactic knowledge, and influences verb-argument relations. Her research spans multiple methodologies including eye-tracking reading studies, Visual World Paradigm experiments, and self-paced reading tasks to investigate the cognitive mechanisms underlying register processing. Analysis of Maquate's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on the intersection of social context and linguistic processing. Her work demonstrates sophisticated experimental designs that manipulate register congruence alongside traditional linguistic variables like morphosyntactic agreement and verb-argument relations. A notable pattern is her investigation of how context effects unfold over time during sentence processing, with particular interest in whether register effects emerge rapidly or require more processing time compared to traditional linguistic constraints. Her research often compares different presentation modalities (blocked vs. mixed) to understand how comprehenders adapt to shifting social contexts. Maquate actively collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions, frequently working with Pia Knoeferle and other members of the CRC 1412. Her grant-funded research through the Collaborative Research Centre demonstrates significant funding support for her investigations into language register phenomena. While specific grant amounts aren't detailed in the available information, her multiple publications from this research program indicate substantial research support. As part of the CRC 1412 team, Maquate contributes to a larger research infrastructure examining register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. Her work represents an important component of this comprehensive investigation into how social context shapes language use and comprehension.
