Personal profile
Research areas
My research interests include text linguistics, genre linguistics, pragmatics, grammar, phraseology, stylistics, and corpus linguistics, often from a contrastive (German-Danish) perspective. Using corpus-based analyses, I examine authentic language in context.
I have worked on the didacticization of reproducible linguistic units, investigating exercise types and the written output of L2 learners with a view to developing L2 teaching, particularly vocabulary acquisition and writing pedagogy.
Currently, I am focusing on the development of phraseodidactics in foreign language teaching, (L2) literacy in conjunction with artificial intelligence, and the development of teaching where Danish meets German as a neighbouring language.
I am also interested in aspects of language development, including the relationship between English and Danish.
