I am a comparative Romance linguist with both a strong interest in general linguistics and a semi-lay weakness for German dialectology. I am particularly interested in morphosyntax and semantics from a pan-Romance perspective (both synchronically and diachronically) and specialize in the noun phrase. At the same time, I work on the so-called ‘New Romania’ (especially Portuguese in Africa), on Romance minority languages and enjoy using theoretically-informed corpus-driven and experimental approaches, including social network and big data mining. A further focus of my research lies in the areas of language and migration, language and identity formation as well as in the acquisition of second languages. Last but by no means least, I am passionate about spreading linguistic knowledge from academia into society. Credo: People love linguistics – they just don’t know it yet!
