Dr. Marina Ivanova
Short Résumé
I am a linguist interested in second language second language perception and production, corpus linguistics, and the language of science communication.
I am currently leading the 2024 DAAD project I, Expert: Media competence for science through linguistics.
My PhD project used evidence from experiments with electroencephalography (EEG) to study the perception of word stress cues by speakers of Slavonic Englishes. My thesis also presented phonetic and phonological analyses on Czech English features and proposed a concept for a tool for training perception and production of segmentals and suprasegmentals following the High-Variability Perceptual Training method.
I was in the organisation team of the 2020 DAAD project From Uncertainty to Confidence and Trust and coordinated the 2021 project Constructing Confidence and Trust Online and the 2022 project Comparing Confidence and Trust Online and Offline. From 2023 to 2025 I will be the TU Chemnitz Alumna ambassador for Bulgaria.
