I have taught the courses Språkanalys med svensk fonologi och grammatik (Language Analysis with Swedish Phonology and Grammar) and Språkutveckling och svenska språkets struktur (Language Development and the Structure of the Swedish Language), which are part of the Primary Teacher Education Program for grades 4–6 and for preschool and grades 1–3, respectively.

I have also taught the course Svenskans uttal i inlärningsperspektiv (Swedish Pronunciation from a Learning Perspective), which is included in the course package Swedish as a Second Language II.

In my dissertation project, I investigate the occurrence of the prosodic phenomenon stød in Danish nonsense words. By investigating stød in nonce words words, I aim to provide insight into which generalizations about stød distribution speakers transfer to unfamiliar words. The method involves recording speakers' readings of a series of nonce words words, which are constructed based on the generalizations being tested. The project consists of three different studies on stød in nonce words, focusing on stress placement, syllable structure, and morphology.

My main area of research is phonology, but I am also interested in mutual intelligibility between closely related languages. For example, I have written a bachelor's thesis and master's thesis on how Swedes and Norwegians perceive and understand Danish pronunciation.

• Stød and stress location in Danish: A nonce word study

  2024. Annika Høeg. Nordic Journal of Linguistics

  Article

  In Danish, the distribution of stød exhibits a pattern related to the position of the stressed syllable. Some phonological theories of stød, e.g. Basbøll (2005), consider stød on the antepenultimate or ultimate syllable, and non-stød on the penultimate syllable, to be the default. This article reports on a production study with nonce words, investigating the distributional pattern of stød in relation to the position of the stressed syllable in monomorphemic nonce words. Ten speakers were asked to pronounce 336 nonce words with stress on either the ultimate, penultimate, or antepenultimate syllable. The results showed that stød on ultimate stressed syllables and non-stød on penultimate stressed syllables replicates in nonce words, but stød on antepenultimate stressed syllables does not. This suggests that stød in antepenultimate stressed words is not the default, but lexical.
