Markus Ising

Markus Ising, born in 1981 in Tübingen, studied French, History and, from 2003 to 2007, Spanish at the University of Tübingen. After a period as assistant teacher in Niort (Western France), he also applied himself to the study of the Sardinian language and culture. In 2006, he prepared his thesis ("Staatsexamen") investigating the interaction of internal language change and external factors during the transition from Latin to Romance. From 2007 onwards, he amplified his experience as tutor and lecturer, teaching linguistic courses at the undergraduate level. He is also studying Italian and occupies the position of research assistant to Prof. Dr. Peter Koch. Since 2008, he has been working on his PhD thesis investigating the role of cognitive reconceptualisations in the grammar and lexicon of the Romance languages.

The (current) abstract of his PhD project "Cognitive Ambiguity: The Role of Collective and Dual Reconceptualisations in Grammar and Lexicon of the Romance Languages" can be found here
