My research interests lie within general, comparative linguistics with a main focus on sign language linguistics. In my research, I use quantitative methods to explore and compare language structure from a cognitive–functional perspective, often with corpus or experimental data.
I am the chair of the sign language research group TEIKN: https://www.uib.no/lle/169904/forskergruppen-teikn
