Curriculum Vitae

About

• I am a postdoctoral researcher within the project "A life with Language: the nature and ontogeny of linguistic communication" (funded by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the CR / OP JAK) with a focus on "Microcomparison and Nanosyntax" at the Department of German, Scandinavian and Netherland Studies.
• I am also affiliated with the SFB Language between Redundancy and Deficiency.
• I am interested in morphology and how it interacts with syntax, phonology, and semantics. In my work, I combine theoretical ideas with experimental and clinical studies. I enjoy cross-linguistic research and exploring how theory and data come together.
