POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN SOCIOLINGUISTICS

Melissa_edited_edited.jpg

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in contact linguistics and sociolinguistics at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).

​

In my PhD, I focused on the acquisition of socially-meaningful contact-induced linguistic variation, combining insights from developmental sociolinguistics and contact linguistics, to get a better understanding of how the social meaning of English lexical resources develops in Belgian Dutch preadolescents.
