Aktuel forskning

Jeg arbejder lige nu med:

• Konstruktionsgrammatiske ændringer fra latin til de forskellige romanske sprog
• Relationen mellem globale sprog og lokale sprog, mere specifik hvorledes globale sprog påvirker folkesproget og omvendt. Forskningen angår relationen mellem latin og folkesprogene i Renæssancen og mellem fransk standardsprog og regionalspro

Desuden arbejder jeg med:

• En revision af Blinkenberg og Høybyes dansk-fransk / fransk-danske ordbog, i samarbejde med Lilian Stage og Gunhild Dyrberg. Vi forbereder en elektronisk udgave af ordbogen
• En udgivelse af Leonora Christinas franske dagbog fra 1673 (se http://www.kb.dk/permalink/2006/manus/679/). Udgivelsen forberedes i samarbejde med Marita Akhøj Nielsen fra det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (DSL).
