I am a professor of Scandinavian languages and also a reader in general linguistics. I teach mostly Swedish language courses with various content. In addition I regularly supervise student papers.

I was trained as a general linguist, with an interest in syntax, morphology and the relation between the two. I am also interested in linguistics variation, whether it be from a typological, a geographical or a sociolinguistic point of view. Lately I have however focused more on Scandinavian, which shows a variation that never stops fascinating me. I also work on the syntax of North Sámi.
