Pavel Ozerov is a professor of General Linguistics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He specializes in the intersection of pragmatics, Interactional Linguistics, information structuring, multimodality, and syntax in typologically diverse languages (especially Trans-Himalayan and Semitic). To this end, he has developed methods and corpora for the study of pragmatics in naturally occurring multimodal speech. In addition, he works on the documentation and description of Trans-Himalayan languages of the Indo-Burmese border, with a project on grammar of the Anal Naga language of India. Dr. Ozerov received his PhD for a study of Information Structure in colloquial Burmese (La Trobe University, 2015), developing the multifactorial information management approach to the study of Information Structure. Afterwards, he held postdoctoral positions of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation at the University of Cologne and of Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before joining the University of Innsbruck in 2023, he served as an assistant professor of linguistics at the University of Münster, Germany.
