Fields of interest

Morphology, typology, mental lexicon, gender, Germanic

Research

I am a linguist with a special interest in morphology and typology. My recent research, for which I received a Veni grant from NWO, focusses on the complexity and learnability of grammatical gender. Currently, I'm thinking and writing about morphology and the theory of the mental lexicon.

Teaching activities

I am a University Lecturer in the BA program German language and culture and the MA Linguistics. Before, I've taught General Linguistics, Typology, Morphology, Psycholinguistics, Contrastive Linguistics and German at various universities throughout the Netherlands.
