Personal profile

Short presentation

I'm doing a PhD on the DFF funded GreenGram project (PI: Kasper Boye). We investigate aphasia in Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic). My project is particularly focused on

  • assessment of syntactic and morphological abilities of agrammatic speakers,
  • making a typologically valid and empirically testable definition of so-called lexical affixes,
  • comparison of anomalies (or possibly lack of them) in agrammatic and child speech.

Fields of interest

  • grammar in a typological and functional perspective
  • child language
  • language use in autism
  • understandning of self, others and the world
  • test and experiment design
