Dr. Kerstin Schwabe was a senior researcher in the Research Area 3 'Syntax & Lexicon'.
Her research focuses on the diachronic development of sentence-embedding predicates: argument structure, argument realization, consistency conditions as well as the semantic properties of sentence-embedding predicates that determine syntactic structure formation: Sentence type of the embedded sentence, nominalization, main sentence phenomena in the embedded sentence. She was also involved in the development and structure of the ZAS database of clause-embedding predicates.
