I'm a Post-Doc in the research project `Semantic and phonological correlates of affix order' (PIs: Jochen Trommer & Barbara Stiebels), which is part of the DFG-funded research unit `Cyclic Optimization' (CYCLOP).
I recently graduated from the research training group IGRA, where I defended my PhD thesis "Morphotactics in Affix Ordering" in 2022.
My current research focuses on affix order and cyclicity.
Other research interests are: Neg-Raising (typological variation and theoretical modelling), the syntax of German and its dialects and hierarchy effects in verbal agreement. I'm also interested in computational methods that facilitate crosslinguistic research.
Even though I use my full first name Marie-Luise in my scientific life, I prefer to be called Luise.
Apart from linguistics and languages, I'm passionate about geeky board games, Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Italian food.
Pronouns: she / her but I have no objection to gender-neutral pronouns either.
My paper: Delayed exponence in Murrinhpatha: Stratal OT, not position classes is now available as First View article in Journal of Linguistics!
We are organizing a workshop Variation in Cyclicity at the upcoming annual meeting of the DGfS in Mainz. Check out the program here.

I designed a LaTeX package that includes commands for different kinds of animal symbols, it can be downloaded here.
