Registergeknister

I am part of the production team and occassional co-host of the podcast Registergeknister (alongside Roodabeh Akbari, Sophia Döring and Peter Schmidt). In each episode, we discuss the research of one of the projects of Collaborative Research Centre 1412. The episodes are usually in German. You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts. Some of our recent episodes include:

• On social hierarchies and the ancient Egyptian language: Linguistische Ausgrabungen: Wie spricht man mit dem Pharao?
• On the acquisition of academic registers of German: Wie viele Deutsch-Register sprichst du? Registerkompetenz macht den Unterschied
• On adjectives in the history of English and using parsed corpora: Von Rittern und Adjektiven: Wie untersuchen Linguist:innen Variation in historischen Texten?
• On linguistic fieldwork and the multi-lingual context of Bislama in Vanuatu: [EN] Sprachen aus dem Schnellkochtopf: Register in Kreols (Teil 2)

Outside of linguistics

When I am not doing linguistics, you might find me indulging in geography-related interests (Microsoft Flight Simulator and Geoguessr alongside actual travel), reading trans-feminist philosophy (recently: Dysphoria Mundi by Paul Preciado) or learning Yiddish.
