Anna Graff, Dr.
Postdoctoral Researcher
Distributional Linguistics Lab
I have completed my PhD at the University of Zurich (Distributional Linguistics Lab). As a biological anthropologist by training, my research lies at the intersection of the biological sciences and linguistics. Specifically, I focus on understanding the distributions of structural linguistic diversity on worldwide and regional scales and how they relate to distributions of (molecular) genetic diversity. I am particularly interested in studying hotbeds of linguistic diversity and how they emerge.
