I am Associate professor in The teaching and Learning of Swedish, and Reader in General linguistics. My research interest include on language development through the lifespan, and is particularly focused on language production and cognitive aspects of writing: How does a text come into being? Does this differ between writers of different ages, and with different experience? And are there similarities and differences between writing and speaking? Over the years, I have been involved in many research projects that have investigated these issues. I have further been engaged in developing research method, including investigating writing, for example using the keylogging program ScriptLog, which has also been combined with eye movement measurement. Another interest is research infrastructure, which I have been involved in in various ways, for example as deputy director at Lund University's Humanities Laboratory 2018–2021.

I am on partial leave to work on the research project "Based on a true story?"  (at Lund University), which investigates how knowledge of language production processes in speech and writing can be used to distinguish between fictional and self-experienced stories.

My research focuses on language production, language development and writing and is characterized by interdisciplinary collaboration and methodological interest.

Some current research publications include an article on  spelling development in middle school children with different hearing backgrounds who can and cannot know sign language, an article  on what factors are important for increasing text quality in written stories, a methodological  article describing how spoken language data can be anonymized in language databases that are openly available, a methodological book chapter  on how keyboard logging can be combined with other methods, as well as a special issue on  Interdisciplinary perspectives on reading and writing instruction in early school years, which I co-edited.

From 2022 I am the subject representative for the subject Swedish. I also lead the new research environment LiLL(Learning in Language and Literature).

I teach, supervise and examine courses within the Primary Teacher Education Programme, the Secondary Teacher Education Programme, the Preschool Teacher Programme, the Master's Programme and in Postgraduate Education. My teaching is often related to language learning, writing, speech and language development, text analysis, and research methods and theory.
