I am a linguist and currently work at the Chair of English Linguistics at TU Dresden, Germany. My research investigates (socio)linguistic variation and creativity across historical, regional, specialised, and mediated contexts. My main research areas and interests are:
World Englishes
corpus- and sociolinguistic approaches to Reddit
language and gender in horror films
lexicology and lexicography of specialised registers
non-canonical syntax
