Abstract

 I am currently a lecturer at the British Department of Leipzig University. In my research and teaching, I am primarily interested in bilingual first language acquisition and language contact phenomena from a usage-based perspective. I specifically focus on lexically specific patterns and their role in growing syntactic productivity as well as on individual differences in linguistic knowledge.
