This site serves as a professional profile for Dr Svetlana Berikashvili, highlighting her contributions to science, particularly through linguistic and philological studies. Her research covers a broad range of topics, including formal grammar, syntactic theory, language contact, morpho-syntactic variation, language history, computational tools and language teaching, among others. Much of her work has focused on Greek (Ancient, Modern and Pontic) and Georgian (Old, Medieval and Modern).
These diverse strands of inquiry converge on a single pillar: investigating how language works from multiple perspectives. While language may appear complex, its structure is, at its core, simple and minimal; the challenge lies in uncovering how it works. Guided by the principle of concordia discors – harmony through difference – Svetlana examines natural language through diverse lenses, seeking the underlying simplicity within its apparent complexity. |
