Mag. Mag. Agnes Kim

Research assistent in the SFB „German in Austria: Variation – Contact – Perception“ (FWF F60), Project part 06 „German and Slavic Languages in Austria: Aspects of Language Contact“ @ Department of Slavonic Studies ◊ University of Vienna
Lecturer @ Department of German philology ◊ University of Vienna

Research interests

My research focesses aspects of historical sociolinguistics:

  • language contact of German and Slavic languages/varieties
  • historical multilingualism in Austria
  • language politics and language managment in education
  • historical discourses on multilingualism

Within this research I use methods from the following linguistic subdiciplines:

  • variationist linguistics
  • corpus linguistics
  • discourse linguistics
  • (meta-)lexicography
