I am a PhD student and Research Assistant (“Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin”) on the project Young German Learner English: Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency, supervised by Prof. Dr. Robert Fuchs.
My research interests include psycholinguistics as well as first- and second-language acquisition broadly, though I am particularly drawn to the syntax-discourse interface in acquisition. In other words, how are sentence structure and contextual knowledge integrated in a learner’s language system? My work has taken the form of experimental as well as corpus-based studies focusing on structures such as wh-questions and the dative alternation.
