About
I am graduate student in Linguistics. Within Linguistics my subfield is Historical Linguistics. I am interested in all aspects of language change and the question how and why languages evolve over the course of time.
As an Indo-Europeanist my research interest involves the development of the Indo-European languages, especially the early ones as well as the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European. The Indo-European language branch my research mainly focuses on at the moment is Tocharian, a language spoken in what is today’s Chinese autonomous region Xinjiang. I am currently working on my Ph.D. thesis with the title “Studies in Tocharian Adjective Formation”.
A more general research area of mine is morphology, particularly derivational morphology and compounding. With regard to compounding I am concerned with the formation, the history and the typology of so-called exocentric compounds.
I am deeply convinced that Historical Linguistics cannot be done without Theoretical Linguistics and that the latter would be a futile endeavor if the fundamental regularities of language change were not a part of its research program.
I am also interested in philosophy of language from the perspective of the philosophical tradition of Hegel and Marx.
