Franz Andres Morrissey's Podcasts and Study Materials (Linguistics)

To Start With

This website is meant to be developped as time goes on and my grasp of coding improves. For the moment it is done in a very simple way with no buzzers and bells -- as yet.  

Who I am

My name is Franz Andres Morrissey. I was employed by the University of Bern in 1988, first as a research and teaching assistant, and then, from 1990 onward, as a lecturer. I retired from this position, more of a vocation, actually, that has meant so very much to me, in 2021, but am still listed as an ajunct researcher. Over all these years I have never stopped thinking about a lot of different issues related to language, communication and performance, and this was because working with so many interested and generous students and colleagues over time has taught me as much about these topics as I hope I managed to teach them. It was for that reason that I wanted to ensure some lectures and materials related to these thoughts would still be available after my retirement.

One of the things about my work was to produce teaching materials that were informative, didactically apt and also visually engaging, the latter being perhaps even a bit of an obsession. I thought that at least for the time being, I would ensure that the these materials remain accessible, for those who are interested and for those who may be able to make use of some of the techniques or even the actual podcasts and "handouts" for themselves or for their work.

Please note that all materials are copyright and must not be passed off as anybody else's work.

If you want to contact me, be it with with questions or to point out errors, of which I am sure there are some (if not plenty), if you would like to use the material for anything else that your own information, you can reach me under

All the very best
