CV

I am Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at NTNU. My research interests are primarily within language acquisition and language use from a usage-based / cognitive linguistic perspective. I am interested in communicative challenges in different social and institutional contexts. Currently I am focusing on science communication from a cognitive linguistic perspective. I received my PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Groningen under the supervision of Prof. Kees de Bot and Prof. Marjolin Verspoor. Before joining NTNU in 2017 I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at MultiLing, a multidisciplinary research Centre of Excellence at the University of Oslo.

Academic interests, teaching, and supervision areas: second/foreign language acquisition, Cognitive Linguistics, Construction Grammar, usage-based linguistics, Science Communication, academic writing, scientific research writing, English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language (TESOL/TEFL)

See all publications in Cristin (Current Research Information System in Norway).

Constructing L2 phraseological chunks as complex form-meaning mappings

Based on a study of emergent patterns in L2 English learner data, I argue that the cognitive usage-based model enhanced by a complexity theory perspective can provide useful insights into L2 learners’ non-target-like use of L2 phraseological chunks.

Capturing EMI teachers' linguistic needs: a usage-based perspective

Building on usage-based approaches, I propose that linguistic units of EMI teachers' competence can be conceptualized as highly specific language functions arising from a specific EMI instructional context and mapping onto suitable formulations in ELF.

Conventionalized ways of saying things (CWOSTs) and L2 development

Using two measures of conventionalization (frequency and NS judgement of naturalness), we aim to define conventionalized ways of saying things (CWOSTs) as multi-word units so that they can be included in researching L2 development.

Foreign language writing development from a dynamic usage based perspective

Taking a dynamic systems perspective, we investigated the development of multi-word units (chunks) in L1 Dutch EFL learners. Our study shows crucial differences in the developmental trajectories of high- and low-input learners.

Development of chunks in Dutch L2 learners of English

Taking a usage-based perspective, we investigate the use of chunks (multi-word units) over the period of 2.5 years in a large population of L1 Dutch EFL learners.
