Profile: Iryna Morozova was the first in Ukraine to suggest applying the Gestalt approach to the theory of syntax by treating any linguistic phenomenon as a centred multidimensional formation which is reflected in its Gestalt properties, but is still richer than their sum total. This approach allowed penetrating into the essence of many linguistic phenomena and disclosing the inner mechanisms of their functioning in the English language.
At present, Dr Morozova supervises a multi-year project of syntactic profiling human speech by using Gestalt approach. She does research in the following spheres: sociolinguistics; psycholinguistics; cognitive, communicative, applied linguistics; germanistics; general linguistics; theory and practice of translation; intercultural communication.
