Language, Cognition and Text

This research focus contains projects that explicate the connection between the structures and comprehension of texts through analytic philosophy, literary studies, linguistics, didactics and psychology. At its heart stand the linguistic structures of texts and the cognitive conditions of their readers/recipients. The common ground shared by all participating disciplines is, on the one hand, the empirical investigation and theoretical modelling of text structures and text-based processes of interpretation and, on the other, the didactic transfer in educational contexts..
