I am professor in Swedish with a ph.d.-degree from Lund University. For nine years I was working as an assistant researcher within The Swedish Academy Grammar. For a shorter period I was also a lexicographer at the The Swedish Academy Dictionary. For four years I was Swedish lecturer at The University of Southern Denmark, Odense. My main field of interest is situation type semantics and tense. Within this field I have done both theoretical and empirical work. In addition I have an interest in literary stylistics, especially modern Swedish fictional prose. (Note that my previous surname was Christensen.)
