Biography
Kerstin Hoge was appointed as University Lecturer in German Linguistics in 2008. She teaches German and General Linguistics to students across the university. Her research interests lie in the field of syntax, with a particular focus on the structure and acquisition of interrogative sentences in the Germanic languages. A further area of interest is Yiddish in both its linguistic and literary aspects, and recent publications have addressed the construction of social and personal identity in Yiddish children’s literature. Her current work focuses on the cross-linguistic properties of causal interrogatives. She is the review editor of the Journal of Linguistics.
