I am a Professor of Linguistics, specializing in "Variation and Variability in morphosyntactic/morphological systems", at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Potsdam, and a member of the The Potsdam Morpho-Syntax Lab. I received my PhD in 2014 from Leipzig University. Before coming to Potsdam as an assistant professor in 2016, I spent the academic year 2015/16 as a maître de conférence at the ENS, Institut Jean Nicod in Paris. I study the syntactic and morphological properties of language from a cross-linguistic perspective with a focus on non-Indo-European languages in order to uncover the limits of variability in language ((im)possible patterns, parameters of variation). My major aim is to use empirical observations to understand the structural aspects of the grammar of human language and to advance formal theories of grammar. How to pronounce my name: /do.'ʁeːn ge.'ʔɔɐ.gi/
