I am a linguist, working in the fields of language variation, language contact, and multilingualism. My research focuses on the interplay of grammatical variation in German varieties in and outside Germany, language ideologies, and language anxiety and insecurity. I’m particularly interested in whether language ideology influences linguistic structure and whether multilingual and monolingual speakers experience communicative contexts differently. In my studies, I take an empirical approach, using various methods from different subfields, including sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and psycholinguistics.
