About the Author

Ingo Feldhausen is a postdoctoral lecturer in the Romance Department of Goethe-Universität Frankfurt (Germany). He obtained his habilitation (postdoctoral dissertation) in 2015 with a thesis on the intonation of left-dislocations in Spanish. He had previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie (LPP - Paris 3) and the Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle (LFF - Paris 7) in Paris (France). In 2008, he defended his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Potsdam (Germany) and published it as Sentential Form and Prosodic Structure of Catalan (2010) with John Benjamins Publishing. His research focuses on the prosody-syntax interface and the intonational phonology of Romance languages as well as on language variation and multilingualism by combining empirical/experimental research and theoretical explanation.
