I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Mannheim within the Structuring the Input in Language Processing, Acquisition and Change (SILPAC) Research Unit, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

My research focuses on syntactic developments in the West Germanic languages. I combine quantitative approaches with formal (Minimalist) syntactic theory. I am particularly interested in language variation and change at the syntax-pragmatics interface, as well as the role of language contact on syntactic change. You can read more about my research here.

My PhD thesis entitled Information Structure Triggers for Word Order Variation and Change: The OV/VO Alternation in the West Germanic languages appeared in print through LOT Publications on 3 March 2022. It can be downloaded (open access) here.
