Papers

Syntactic Language Change in English and German: Metrics, Parsers, and Convergences (2024)
The paper asks whether syntax changes over time in English and German parliamentary debates, roughly the last 160 years, can be measured reliably with automatic parsers.
Should a conditional marker arise … The diachronic development of conditional sollte in German (2019)
The paper studies the German modal sollen (past subjunctive sollte) when it appears in the protasis of a conditional, where it no longer carries its ordinary deontic or evidential sense but marks conditionality.
