Since 2007 I have been working as research associate ('Assistent') with Tilman Berger at the Slavonic Department of Tübingen University. Before that I was a research assistent to my PhD supervisor Helmut Keipert at the Slavonic Department of Bonn University. |

I am writing a habilitation thesis about speech communities using two (or more) scripts for one language
(so far called "digraphia", "bigraphism", "biscriptality" etc.). The
aim is to arrive at meaningful conclusions about the sociocultural
background of such language situations by creating a sociolinguistic
typology of this phenomenon, which is not as rare as commonly thought and even quite widespread among the Slavic languages. In this context I am planning a multidisciplinary international conference on biscriptality for summer 2011 together with Sandra Lippert and Achim Rabus. |

Apart from that, in the context of project C2 "Verbal Aspect in the Text: Contextual Dynamization vs. Grammaticalization" in the Tübingen Collaborative Research Centre 833 "Constituting Meaning – Dynamics and Adaptivity of Linguistic Structures" I am doing research on Verbal Aspect in Serbo-Croatian. |

| My PhD thesis is about the Ruthenian literary language in a manuscript from the 17th century written by Ivan U˛evyč (the author of the first Ruthenian grammar, Hramatyka slovenskaja, Paris 1643): a parallel translation of Noėl de Berlaimont's popular phrasebook into Ruthenian and Church Slavonic ("Rozmova"/"Besģda"). | |||
| Together with Ryszard Lipczuk, I have created an Online Hypertext Bibliography about 'false friends', the subject of my Master thesis. In this context I also initiated the internet project "False Friends of the Slavist". | |||
