IndeKS Project Team
Cordula Meißner is the principal investigator of the FWF project IndeKS and Assistant Professor at the Department of German Studies at the University of Innsbruck. Her work in the project brings together corpus-linguistic, pragmatic, and lexicogrammatical perspectives to investigate the indexicality of communication verbs. Her research interests include corpus linguistics, digital linguistics, corpus pragmatics, lexicology, corpus-based approaches to spoken language, and the role of language in science and education.
Janina Deilke is a doctoral researcher at the Department of German Studies at the University of Innsbruck. In the IndeKS project, she empirically investigates how speakers relate communication verbs to situational contexts. Her research interests lie in empirical linguistics, linguistic knowledge, psychometric modelling and item response theory, as well as at the interface of metapragmatics and usage-based cognitive approaches.
Anna-Lena Randermann is a doctoral researcher at the Department of German Studies at the University of Innsbruck. In the IndeKS project, she uses corpus-linguistic methods to examine the extent to which communication verbs index situational contexts and how these contexts can be described. Her research interests include corpus linguistics, pragmatics, morphology, syntax, and language variation.

Project Advisory Board
The advisory board supports the IndeKS project through ongoing academic and methodological exchange. Its members contribute in particular through advice, feedback, and regular discussions on the methodological approaches developed in subproject B.
Franziska Kretzschmar works in the Department of Grammar at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language. She supports the project especially with her expertise in large-scale online surveys and questionnaire design for research on linguistic knowledge.
Katja Maquate conducts research in psycholinguistics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She contributes particular expertise in experimental methods and in psycholinguistic research on register and language processing.
Torgrim Solstad works in linguistics at Freie Universität Berlin and Bielefeld University. He contributes his expertise in experimental linguistics and pragmatics, particularly in connection with the Collaborative Research Centre 1646 "Linguistic Creativity in Communication".
Jakob Horsch works in the Slovak National Corpus Department at the Ľ. Štúr Institute of Linguistics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. He contributes in particular his expertise in usage-based and constructionist approaches, in cross-linguistic case studies, and in combining corpus-based and elicited data. His affiliation with the Slovak National Corpus also adds a corpus-linguistic perspective that is valuable for exchange across the individual subprojects.
