About me
I graduated Scandinavian philology (Norwegian language) in 2011 at the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade. In 2013, I graduated in International Communication ar the Faculty of Communication, Vilnius University. Thesis: “Framing across cultures: Comparing same-sex marriage framing in four European Cultures”.
In September 2013 I started my PhD studies at the Institute of the Lithuanian Language, Department of Sociolinguistics. My PhD project focuses on language ideologies in the Baltics, Balkans and Scandinavia in typological perspective. I will analyse standard and “grassroots” language ideologies, as well as the influence of history, politics and economy on the development of language ideology.
Research interests:
