Hello!

My name is Niklas Wiskandt. I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Linguistics of Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, Germany.

I am a linguistic typologist interested in morphology, syntax and semantics of the world’s languages. My primary research area is the domain of voice marking and diathesis alternations. Beyond that, I work on psych predicates, light verb constructions, and outreach projects.

In 2027, I am co-organizing the 11th International Conference on Grammar and Corpora (GaC11) in Düsseldorf. Please consider submitting! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions about the conference.


If you are interested, please have a look at my research interests, my presentations and publications, and my teaching profile.


Here are some options to get in touch with me:
