Head of Education
Since January 2021 I have taken on the role of Head of Studies at the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages. In this position I have the responsibility to oversee the department’s study programs. This encompasses working closely with the Faculty of Humanities as well as with the department’s program board, evaluating and ensuring the education quality of the department’s study portfolio.
As part of the department’s leading team, I also play a role in ensuring that the department’s academic activities align with established frameworks for the study portfolio, budget, and the current quality system.
Academic interests
I am interested in natural language interpretation with a special focus on lexical semantics and how the internal semantic structure of words interacts with larger linguistic structures, which aspects of word meaning are grammatically relevant and which are to be considered idiosyncratic, both intra- and cross-linguistically. Another related question I am interested in is how lexical models interact with formal models of composition. These semantic research questions are necessarily often connected to problems addressed by morphology and pragmatics.
