Current research

For the moment I am working on:

• Sociolinguistic theories
• The history of linguistics, in particular the history of structuralism in Denmark
• Language in the great cities of Europe, from a historical perspective
• The relationship between discourse contexts and phonetic and grammatical variation
• The relationship between Danish and Swedish in the Øresund region (DASVA)

Impact

At the Faculty of Humanities my research is used as an example of the impact the humanities researchers have on society.
Read the case: Spoken language is a dynamic entity.
