I am an Associate Professor in the Institute for Languages and Literature at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) where I teach linguistics to interpreting students.
I am interested in the acquisition of signed languages by adult learners and the psycholinguistic factors that affect signed language processing in multilinguals. More recently I have become involved in documentation and corpus development of Norwegian Sign Language.
Areas for peer review in no particular order: reference, gesture, sound symbolism, iconicity, depiction, bilingualism, multilingualism, sign language, interpreting, bimodal language acquisition.
