I am a Privatdozentin and Acting Professor in the Department of General Linguistics at the University of Tübingen. I received my PhD in 2015 from the University of Groningen and completed my Habilitation in 2023 at the University of Tübingen.
My research focuses on multimodal communication, with particular emphasis on prosodic phonology and its interactions with other components of grammar and language use, including syntax, morphology, and pragmatics, as well as with other modalities such as gesture and text-based communication. My work combines experimental and corpus-based approaches, including production, perception, and acceptability judgment experiments, as well as the development and analysis of multimodal corpora.
