Tanja Kupisch
I was appointed Professor of Romance Linguistics at the University of Konstanz in 2014. Since 2015, I have also worked as a Professor II at UiT, The Arctic University of Norway. Togther with Holger Hopp, I am editing the journal Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism. My research areas include child and adult bilingualism and trilingualism as well as bidialectalism, where In am primarily focussing on syntax and phonology. I am also interested in the links between language and policy.
