Anita Slonimska

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Multimodal Language Department at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. I integrate various lines of research, encompassing multimodal communication (speech+gesture, sign languages), communicative efficiency, and language evolution, and use experimental methods to investigate the adaptive and semiotically diverse nature of linguistic systems.

I hold a PhD in Linguistics (Cum Laude) from Radboud University. In my doctoral research, I investigated the role of iconicity and simultaneity in communicative efficiency in Italian Sign Language.
