Message/Self-Introduction	My research interest lies mainly in the cognitive aspects of languages, i.e., how we humans are able to speak and think using languages. I've been mainly engaged in phenomena like verb-particle constructions and German modal particles in terms of cognitive abilities. Some of the concepts I am particularly interested in now are connected with such keywords as compositionality, belief revision, and intersubjectivity.
