She investigates 'small forms' of writing like graffiti through the lens of multimodal grammar and cognitive linguistics, while simultaneously documenting language change through her extensive work on Low German dialects and the Dialect Atlas of Central West Germany. Her research demonstrates how seemingly marginal linguistic phenomena provide profound insights into grammatical structures and language evolution. The patterns in her recent publications reveal consistent engagement with informal language in everyday contexts - from street graffiti to digital communication. Her scholarly output shows increasing interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly with computational linguists on projects analyzing grammatical change. Her work on political graffiti and linguistic expressions demonstrates how language functions as political commentary and social identity marker in public spaces.
