I’m a Professor for linguistics at the University of Oslo. I consider myself a cognitive scientist with a focus on human speech. My scientific work has two goals:
First, I want to understand how people communicate their intentions using speech. I try to get there by looking at what people do when they try to express an intention, how and when parts of the speech signal are retrieved during perception and processing, and how people learn and generalise these relationships.
Second, I want to help improving methodological practices across the language sciences. One common methodological theme that runs throughout my work is the critical assessment of past, present and future methods with a strong commitment to quantitative analyses and open science.
