LINGUIST
Dr. Kilu von Prince is a linguist who currently works at Humboldt University. For her doctoral thesis, she documented two endangered Oceanic languages of Vanuatu.
The fascinating systems of temporal and modal markers in these languages has prompted her to focus on the differences - and similarities - in how natural languages encode temporal notions.
She has studied in Germany and China and has previously worked at Potsdam University and the Center for General Linguistics (ZAS) Berlin.
