My name is Kathrin Feindt, I live in Kiel, Germany, and with my current role as a postdoctoral researcher, I support the DFG-funded project “Sound Patterns and Linguistic Structures at the Transition Space in Conversation” at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel. In this, we investigate the most important intonational patterns leading to speaker change cross-linguistically with German as well as Swedish speakers.
I was born near Hamburg and spent a year in Irelandbeforer beginning my linguistic studies at the Friedrich-Schiller University Jena. I graduated with a M.A in German Linguistics after finishing my B.A in English Studies and General Linguistics. After my M.A, I moved back to my hometown to pursue my academic career at the University of Hamburg. In August 2021, I passed my doctoral dissertation.
Research Areas
