"The subject matter of linguistics, i.e. the structure of grammar and the understanding of the human capacity to attain knowledge of language, does not know sub-discipline boundaries. This is especially true of information structure in language, as it lies at the cross-roads of syntax, prosody, semantics and pragmatics." (Kriszta Eszter Szendrői)

Research areas:

* Information structure in language, encompassing different subdisciplines of linguistics such as syntax and prosody
* Theoretical and experimental perspectives on language, including the study of both adult and child language
* Documentation and analysis of Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish grammar and development of pedagogical tools for the language
