Short presentation
PhD student at the Department of Scandinavian languages with a focus on Swedish as a second language.
I work within the field of psycholinguistics and study biological and neurological mechanisms in order to understand second language acquisition and language processing in advanced L2-speakers.
I use eye tracking in my current work to study L2 pragmatic competence.
