- Profile
-
I am a Senior Lecturer in Translation and Intercultural Communication Studies. I have an MA in English Philology, Modern and Medieval History and Law (University of Kiel, Germany) and obtained my Dr. phil. in Applied Linguistics from the University of Hamburg (Germany) for research on multimodal translation inside the Research Centre on Multilingualism (funded by the German Science Foundation). Before coming to ºù«Ӱҵ I held a position as associate professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Southern Denmark. I joined the School of Languages and Cultures in 2016.

- Research interests
-
My field of research is in Applied Linguistics. My research interest in general lies in the linguistic construction and negotiation of concepts and social categories in communication across languages and cultures. I focus in particular on multilingual, intercultural and transnational settings in which people have to operate on the basis of reduced common ground and elusive frames of reference. The aim of this work is to arrive at an understanding of the socio-communicative consequences of linguistic choice when people engage in cross-linguistic and intercultural communication. The results of this research add a factual base to societal debates about, for example, the usefulness of foreign language learning, the role of English as a ‘global’ language, the need for professionalisation in the languages services industry, social exclusion and inclusion processes, and the role of language for communication.
Current projects and research areas include:
- Optimizing entertainment localisation
- Cultural requirements engineering (incl. culture-specific attitudes towards technological innovation)
- Second language development and use
