Yvonne van Baal
About
I am a postdoc researcher at the Department of Language and Literature and a member of the AcqVA research group. I received my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Oslo (spring 2020), supervised by professor Janne Bondi Johannessen and professor Ida Larsson. Before that, I completed my MA in linguistics (2015) and my BA in Dutch language and literature (2013) at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
Currently, I am a postdoc at the GenVAC project, where we investigate grammatical gender in Norwegian dialects. The project studies variation, acquisition and change in gender, especially with respect to the feminine gender.
