Nadine Bayer

I am a doctoral researcher in the Research Training Group „Dimensions of Constructional Space“ at Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). In my current project I am investigating the role of expectation sensitivity for argument marking and the use of copula pronouns in Arabic, as well as the grammaticalization of such marked constructions (project 10).
