Marian Marchal

I’m a PhD student at Saarland University in Vera Demberg’s lab. My work focuses on the role of relational and contextual cues in processing discourse relations, but I am interested in anything remotely related to this. In my research, I often combine various psycholinguistic tasks (e.g. self-paced reading, comprehension) to test my hypotheses. These hypotheses are often inspired by corpus research and cognitive models of language processing.

I am affiliated with the DFG-funded SFB 1102 Project “Information Density and Linguistic Encoding”, working on project B2 “Cognitive modelling of information density for discourse relations” and with the ERC-funded project “Individualized Interaction in Discourse”.
