My research focusses on spoken Russian: dialects, regional variation, pragmatic particles, prosody (phonetics and phonology). I also took an MA degree in Scandinavian linguistics with a contrastive study of conjunctions in Russian and Norwegian.

I teach Russian and Russian linguistics at the courses RUS100, RUS120, RUS130, RUS240, RUS251 (BA-level) and RUS301 History of Russian and modern Russian language structure and RUS303 (“Russian dialectology”, “Linguistic variation in Russian”, “Language, language choice and linguistic variation in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus”)
