to combine language-specific, qualitative and typological,
quantitative approaches to areal linguistics and language
contact with the focus on Uralic languages and their contact

very much interested in qualitative research on
important topics in language contact including but
not limited to contact-induced grammaticalization
and disentangling common inheritance from parallel
