Congratulations to our colleague Judith Schlenter (B06) who received a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship for her project at the Arctic University of Norway (UiT).

Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Martine Grice (A01, A02, C09), Tobias Schröer was awarded the Faculty Prize of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities for his Bachelor's thesis on "Investigating potential acoustic correlates of sonority: Intensity vs. periodic energy".

From February 22-23, 2021, the 6th International Workshop of the University of Cologne and the University of Tokyo will take place on the topic "From Event to Discourse". For more information, the programme and zoom access, follow the link.

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has approved a second funding period of the CRC 1252 Prominence in Language starting in 2021. We are looking forward to the next four years and the opportunity to continue our research on prominence in language.

The CRC 1252 is aware of the new challenges related to the corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) for research, teaching and administration. Here we bundle information on current measures and advice that we develop, implement and continually adapt to current trends in the CRC 1252.

On January 28, 2021, two more of our PhD students will present their completed dissertations, online via Zoom. You can find more information about all the presentations here.

Prof. Martine Grice (A01+A02) has received this year's Research Prize of the University of Cologne for outstanding research in arts and humanities. Here she explains her main research field in linguistics.
