Ljudmila Geist serves as a Research Associate and DFG Project Manager at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Linguistics within the Department of Linguistics and German Studies (ILG). Holding the academic rank of Privatdozent (equivalent to Associate Professor), she leads two major DFG-funded research projects while teaching linguistics and Slavic studies courses at undergraduate and graduate levels. Her institutional affiliation spans formal instruction in Linguistics, German Studies, and Slavic Studies programs including teacher training tracks for German and Russian. Her research expertise centers on the syntax-semantics interface with three core pillars: Semantics/Pragmatics : Nominal reference systems, information structure dynamics, speaker-hearer knowledge interaction in discourse, and copula clause semantics Morphosyntax : Argument linking mechanisms, case assignment for objects/predicatives, and co-argument binding phenomena Language Comparison/Typology : Cross-linguistic analysis of definiteness/indefiniteness in article-less languages, grammatical category comparisons between Russian and German Her work consistently bridges theoretical linguistics with empirical Slavic language data. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals strong methodological continuity in formal linguistic approaches applied to Slavic languages, particularly Russian-German comparisons. Key thematic clusters include noun phrase semantics (mass/count distinctions, definiteness marking), copula constructions, and question-response systems. Her research increasingly incorporates experimental methodologies while maintaining rigorous formal analysis frameworks, demonstrating evolution from theoretical syntax toward integrated psycholinguistic approaches. Geist actively contributes to academic infrastructure through editorial roles including co-editing Advances in Formal Slavic Linguistics 2018 (Language Science Press, 2021) and multiple volumes of Investigations into Formal Slavic Linguistics . She has organized workshops such as Divide and Count at the 2023 DGfS conference in Cologne, demonstrating leadership in advancing research on morphosyntactic-semantic interfaces. Her teaching portfolio demonstrates deep integration of research and pedagogy across morphology, syntax, and Slavic linguistics courses. Recent offerings include Morphology (SS 2024), Syntax, Semantics and Typology of Nouns (WS 2023/24), and specialized seminars on nominal categories and German-Russian comparative linguistics. She completed Baden-Württemberg's 200-hour university teaching certification in 2008, reflecting commitment to pedagogical excellence.
