Dr. Ghattas Eid

I am a Lecturer in English Linguistics at the Department of English, American and Celtic Studies, University of Bonn. I earned my PhD in General Linguistics from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, where I also taught courses in English linguistics.

My research focuses on phonology, morpho-phonology, corpus linguistics, corpus pragmatics, genre and register analysis, and sociolinguistics. I am also actively involved in documenting endangered and minority languages and in developing publicly accessible corpora and datasets, such as the Maaloula Aramaic Speech Corpus (MASC).

In my courses, we approach linguistics as an empirical science, moving from theoretical concepts to practical application. We use hands-on exercises, collect authentic language data, and apply modern research methods to critically explore how language functions in real-world contexts.
