Graduate student, Linguistics
I am a fourth-year PhD student in Linguistics under the supervision of Liina Pylkkänen. Although my interests are many, including the syntax-semantics interface, bilingualism as well as first and second language acquisition, a unifying characteristic of my work is the use of neuro- and psycholinguistic methods. I’m currently working on a project using Danish to investigate A- and A’-movement in an attempt to link theoretical syntax with neuroscience. Prior to joining NYU’s PhD program, I earned a Bachelor and Master of Arts in English Studies from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. While both degrees were interdisciplinary, my MA in particular offered many opportunities to engage with linguistically oriented questions, resulting in, for instance, an article examining language ideologies among long-term international students in Denmark. For my Master’s thesis, I conducted a psycholinguistic study on Danish-English bilinguals’ cognate processing in L1 and L2 tasks.
