My academic interests include comparative syntax, language change, historical linguistics, language contact and heritage languages. To date, null arguments, pronouns, DP syntax and clause structure have been been my major focus areas. I am currently investigating aspects of Norwegian as a heritage language in North and Latin America, i.e. Norwegian spoken by the descendants of Norwegian emigrants. These speakers have acquired Norwegian in a naturalistic setting as young children, but are separated from the speech community in Norway. 

I was awarded a PhD at the University of Oslo in 2016 and have teaching experience from courses in Norwegian grammar, syntax and historical linguistics. Before taking up my current post, I held postdoctoral research positions at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oslo. 

I am the Principal Investigator of the research project , funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN). I am also one of the partners of the infrastructure project (Norwegian Diachronic Corpus), also funded by RCN.
