I am currently a teaching assistant at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, where I teach in the BA programme in Linguistics. My research focusses on grammatical variation and change in Danish and other languages. In my 2020 dissertation (to be found here), I investigated a number of changes in the verbal system of Old and Middle English, specifically involving (semi-)modal verbs like must, ought to, and dare.
Primary fields of research
- Grammar and history of the Germanic languages (e.g. Danish, Frisian, English)
- Linguistic typology, in particular involving verbal categories such as tense, aspect, and modality
- Language change, especially analogy
Current research
- Syntactic variation in Danish dialects
- East Frisian
- Habitual constructions (such as English used to) in the languages of the world
