Viktorija Kostadinova is a Researcher at the University of Amsterdam's School of Languages, Department of Linguistics. Her work focuses on sociolinguistic methodologies, particularly the impact of technology and pandemic-era constraints on data collection. Collaborating with colleagues like Professor Bertus van Rooy, she explores remote research tools and their validity. Her research bridges traditional fieldwork with modern digital methods, emphasizing vernacular speech analysis and language variation. Key interests include pandemic-driven innovations in data collection, sociolinguistic variation in digital contexts, and prescriptivism in language use. She has published extensively on topics such as remote interview techniques, morphosyntactic variation in online communities, and historical usage guides. Her interviews with academics like Dr. Stephen Lucek and Professor Adrian Leemann highlight interdisciplinary approaches to linguistic challenges. Kostadinova’s work underscores adaptability in research methodologies, particularly in leveraging digital tools for ethnographic and sociolinguistic studies.
