My work is mainly situated within historical linguistics, with a focus on syntactic variation and change in English and Scots in the Early Modern period.
My wider research interests involve diachronic syntax, syntactic variation in non-standard varieties, historical sociolinguistics, language contact, and parsed corpora methods; I have parsed a corpus of Scots correspondence from 1540-1750 (the Parsed Corpus of Scottish Correspondence).
While originally from Sweden, I completed my undergraduate studies (BA Hons in Linguistics) at the University of York 2013-16, and then completed the MSc in English Language at University of Edinburgh 2016-17. I continued onto the PhD programme in Linguistics at English Language at University of Edinburgh in 2018, on the SGSAH DTP, and received my PhD award in December 2022. I briefly worked as a Post-Doctoral researcher for George Walkden (Uni Konstanz), on project H4 under the research unit SILPAC (where I still have a consulting role), before taking up the position as Lecturer in English Language at the University of Edinburgh in August 2022.
