Her research interests include verbal aspect, information structure phenomena, and syntactic evolution in Slavic languages. She has contributed to large-scale digital corpus initiatives, advancing computational tools for historical language study.

Dr Eckhoff’s work bridges traditional linguistic analysis with modern computational techniques, producing resources like syntactic treebanks and alignment tools for early Slavic texts. Her publications explore topics such as differential object marking, verb morphology, and diachronic syntax patterns.
