About me

I am a comparative linguist who studies the diversity of the world's grammatical and lexical systems and tries to understand what is universal about them. I am best known for coediting the "World atlas of language structures" (2005/2013), and as a co-founder of "Language Science Press". I am also an honorary (adjunct) professor at Leipzig University.

1990-1993PhD in linguistics, Freie Universität Berlin
1985-1989MA in linguistics, University of Cologne and University at Buffalo
1983-1985Undergraduate student of linguistics, University of Vienna
