Carolin Reinert

Welcome to my website!

Since September 2026, I have been a post-doctoral researcher in the Research Group for German Linguistics/Sprachsystem at Ruhr University Bochum (Chair: Daniel Gutzmann).

My research interests lie at the intersection of formal semantics and pragmatics, with a particular focus on adjectival meaning and the semantic properties of adjective-noun constructions. Find out more about my research interests and my activities in the About Me & CV section of this website.

Before joining the research group in Bochum, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Linguistics at Goethe University Frankfurt. I was part of project A02 "Negative adjectives in language change" (PIs: Cécile Meier and Helmut Weiß) of the CRC 1629 "Negation in Language and Beyond" (NegLaB).

In 2024, I received my PhD from Goethe University Frankfurt. I was part of the Graduate School "Nominal Modification" and wrote my dissertation on the compositionality of adjective-noun constructions (Supervisor: Ede Zimmermann). Please see the thesis section of this website to learn more about my PhD thesis.
