Dutch Linguistics
Research interests:
Language acquisition, language processing & language production
multilingualism, especially third language acquisition
linguistic transfer (morphology & syntax)
multilingual pedagogies & didactics
Current project:
Dissertation project: Morphosyntactic transfer between closely related languages in third language production(L1/L2 German/English – L3 Dutch): A study on Dutch superlatives and two-verb clusters (working title).
In this project, we investigate the acceptability, processing and production of superlatives and 2-verb clusters in Dutch by L3 learners who either have German as the L1 and English as the L2 or English as the L1 and German as the L2. Dutch has two optional variants for superlatives and 2-verb clusters, whereas German and English allow only one opposing option: natuurlijkste (GER)/meest natuurlijke (ENG) and gedanst heeft (GER)/heeft gedanst (ENG). In Dutch, both variants of the superlative and 2-verb clusters are grammatical. In our study, we aim to find out how L3 learners of Dutch differ from native speakers in how they process, judge and produce different types of superlatives and 2-verb clusters. In particular, we are interested to see whether deviations from non-native behaviour can be explained by transfer from the L1, transfer from the L2 (Bardel & Falk, 2007), (psycho-)typological factors (Rothman, 2011), foreign language proficiency, or a combination of several of these factors.

Long-distance wh-questions in L3 Dutch
In this joint project with Ankelien Schippers (Groningen), we investigate the acceptability and processing of different types of long-distance wh-questions in Dutch by L3 learners who either have German as the L1 and English as the L2 or English as the L1 and German as the L2. Long-distance questions involve movement of a question word from a subordinate clause into a higher clause and are highly complex structures, which are not explicitly taught in language courses. They show a lot of variability in their acceptability and the ways in which they are realized across languages. In our study, we aim to find out how L3 learners of Dutch differ from native speakers in how they process, judge and produce different types of long-distance questions. In particular, we are interested to see whether deviations from non-native behaviour can be explained by transfer from the L1, transfer from the L2, access to UG principles or processing factors, or a combination of several of these factors.
Extraposition of prepositional phrases in Dutch and German
In this joint project with Esther Ruigendijk (University of Oldenburg), we investigate the acceptability of different types of extraposition of PPs in Dutch and German. Extraposition of adjunct PPs is considered grammatical in both Dutch and German, especially with increasing PP complexity. However, while extraposition of complement PPs is considered grammatical in Dutch, particularly with increasing PP complexity, it is deemed ungrammatical or highly marked in German. In our study, we aim to determine how native speakers of German differ from native speakers of Dutch in their judgments of various types of extraposition of PPs. In particular, we are interested in exploring whether judgments of native speakers of German and Dutch vary between adjunct and complement PPs, are influenced by PP complexity, and whether factors such as age and gender play a role.
Reading group: Statistics for Linguists (Institute of Dutch Studies)
Starting in early 2024, I initiated the Statistics for Linguists reading group for postdocs, PhD students, and Master's students at the Institute of Dutch Studies. We hold monthly meetings where we delve into various topics related to constructing linear mixed-effects models and generalized linear mixed-effects models in R. These discussions often revolve around analyzing data on self-paced reading (RTs) and grammaticality judgments (RTs & scores). If you're interested in joining our reading group, feel free to reach out to me.
Zur Person
Seit Oktober 2019 bin ich als Promotionsstudent mit dem Institut für Niederlandistik der Universität Oldenburg verbunden. Seit Oktober 2022 bin ich im Rahmen des Double Degree PhD Programms zudem als Promotionsstudent mit der Graduate School for the Humanities der Universität Groningen verbunden. Im Rahmen meiner Promotion untersuche ich den Einfluss, den die Erstsprache (Deutsch / Englisch) und die Zweitsprache (Englisch / Deutsch) auf den Erwerb der Morphologie und Syntax der Drittsprache (Niederländisch) haben. Meine Arbeit im Labor für Sprach- und Musikforschung der Universität Oldenburg konzentriert sich dabei auf experimentelle Arbeiten (Sprachverarbeitung und Sprachproduktion) im Rahmen meiner Promotion (u. a. selfed-paced reading tasks, grammaticality judgement tasks, cloze tasks & Likert items task).
Seit Oktober 2019 Lehre ich an der Universität Oldenburg. Innerhalb meiner Lehre fokussiere ich einerseits die Geschichte und Variation des Niederländischen (Vorlesung, B.A./M.Ed.) und andererseits die Themen Spracherwerb, Sprachverarbeitung und Sprachdidaktik (Seminar, B.A.).
