Hans Jürgen Heringer

Hans Jürgen Heringer focuses his research on German syntax and action-theoretic semantics, driven by a commitment to making linguistic findings practically applicable. His work critically examines political language, administrative jargon, and the clarity of user manuals, famously simplifying an automotive instruction manual for greater comprehension. He also engages with intercultural communication and promotes the ideals of fair play in sports, particularly among young athletes. Further research includes distributive semantics using computational tools and developing intercultural communication training programs, alongside multimedia CD-ROM projects.
