Bettina Beinhoff

Bettina's main research interests are at the crossroads of sociolinguistics and second language acquisition, and specifically in the areas of attitudes towards accents and the negotiation of identities in cross-cultural and intercultural settings.

She is currently working on projects that investigate the complex connections between language and identity at the individual and social level. Bettina also does research on constructed languages (or 'conlangs', such as Esperanto, Lojban, Dothraki or Klingon) as a cultural, artistic and linguistic phenomenon.
