About Me

I am a doctoral researcher in the Research Training Group “Dimensions of Constructional Space” at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Erlangen-Nürnberg. My research interests fall within the sphere of Diachronic Cognitive Linguistics and Historical (Socio)linguistics. In other words, I’m interested in how language varies within a community historically and how certain phenomena evolve (grammaticalize or disappear) within different sociohistorical contexts. In my dissertation, I am applying this line of thought on subject-inversion for finite verbs in Early Modern English (17th and 18th century). Other interests include Corpus Linguistics, Digital Humanities and Science Communication.
