About Me
Welcome to my personal website where I present my scientific work in Romance linguistics. My main areas of interest are language variation and change, language contact, and formal theories of syntax. I am specialized in combining the empirical tools and methods of variationist sociolinguistics with a formal modelling of the findings according to current syntactic theory.
Work
I am lucky to be working as a teacher of French and Biology on the beautiful island of Sylt.
As part of my habilitation thesis in 2018, I was working on dialectal variation of attributive possession in Spanish. My previous research focused, among others, on variation and change in Quebec French interrogatives (Ph.D. thesis, 2009) and on the influence of language contact on word order variation in Old French and Middle High German charters.
