After having studied Scandinavian languages and cultures in my bachelor at the University of Groningen, I obtained my Research master in Linguistics from Leiden University. In 2021, I obtained my PhD (summa cum laude) at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena with the dissertation “Lateral relations & multiple source constructions: the Old English subject relative clause and the Norwegian han mannen-construction”. Since August 2021, I am working as a PostDoc in the DFG project “Word Order and Discourse Structure in the Early Modern Period” at the University Potsdam (PI: Prof. Dr. Demske). In this project, I focus on the left periphery of the sentence.

Focus of work

  • usage-based construction grammar
  • language change
  • definite noun phrases
  • word order changes
  • Germanic languages
