◾️ Name | Frank Sode
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 German 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 German language lecturer at the University of Tokyo (specially appointed Associate Professor). In June 2026, the Department of Modern Philologies at Goethe University Frankfurt granted me the venia legendi in general linguistics (Habilitation, PD), specializing in German linguistics. My research focuses on the semantics of mood and the syntax-semantics interface of clausal embedding in attitude reports.
