Dr. Andy Lücking

Andy Lücking is a Privatdozent at the Text Technology Lab at Goethe University Frankfurt. His work focuses on a linguistic theory of human communication, that is, face-to-face interaction within and beyond single sentences, with particular attention to various kinds of gestures and cognitive modeling. This involves adapting dynamic dialogue semantics, developing of multimodal grammar extensions, occasionally revising traditional linguistic theories (e.g., quantification or pointing), utilizing corpora and computational methods/text processing, and taking an overarching cognitive perspective, such as grounding linguistic context in memory states. His areas of interest include “traditional” linguistic phenomena such as demonstrative pronouns, plurality, quantification, and reference.
