◾️ Name | Frank Sode
I am a specially appointed Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo.
I studied philosophy and German literature at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. I continued my studies at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, where I obtained a master’s degree (Magister Artium) in philosophy and Germanic linguistics. After receiving a PhD in linguistics from the Humboldt University of Berlin, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Göttingen and at Goethe University Frankfurt. From 2023 to 2026, I was a visiting professor (Gastprofessor) at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Currently, I am a specially appointed Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo (KOMEX). In June 2026, the Department of Modern Philologies at Goethe University Frankfurt granted me the venia legendi (post-doctoral lecturing qualification) in general linguistics, specializing in Germanic linguistics. My research focuses on the semantics of mood and the syntax-semantics interface of clausal embedding in attitude reports.
