MPI Dissertation series

Since 1997, Ph.D.'s of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics have their theses appear in a series. This MPI Series in Psycholinguistics enables the Institute to make the quality and diversity of its research more visible to the outside world. Here is a list of theses that have appeared so far. Note that the following titles are unpublished dissertations. Anyone interested in a copy is advised to contact the author of the dissertation in question (or, if that fails, the library).
