About Me
I am a doctoral researcher at the Research Training Group of Dimensions of Constructional Space at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg. As a member of the research team, I investigate the representation of idioms in both first (L1) and second/foreign (L2) languages, as well as the impact of these differences on first language and second/foreign language acquisition (project 6).
