Postdoc Researcher
Anna Kuder is interested in nonmanual elements of sign languages and in the use of discourse particles across different language modalities. She obtained her PhD in 2020 at the University of Warsaw, after defending her thesis titled “Negation markers in Polish Sign Language (PJM)”. While doing her PhD she served as an Investigator or Principal Investigator in numerous projects (both research and educational) concerning PJM. She was involved in all stages of building the PJM Corpus and participated in the project of creating the first on-line Corpus-based Dictionary of PJM. As a postdoc, she is currently working at the University of Cologne, where she is conducting a comparative corpus-based study of gestural elements in Polish Sign Language, German Sign Language, and Russian Sign Language. She is also currently joining the ViCom project “Gestures or signs? Comparing manual and non-manual constructions sharing the same form in co-speech gesture and sign language: a corpus-driven approach. (GeSi)” as a postdoc.
