Bio/Research
Her research interests focus on several areas and methodologies. Hasselbach-Andee uses the methodologies of Historical and Comparative Linguistics to attempt to reconstruct features of the ancestor language of the Semitic language family, Proto Semitic, and to understand the historical developments of the individual Semitic languages. In addition, she also works with typological approaches in order to investigate how Semitic languages work in general and how they compare to other language families. In her latest research, she also developed an interest in socio-linguistic approaches to language, especially relating to languages in contact and the question of what determines the degree to which languages are influenced by each other.
