My main field of specialization and interest within Semitic languages is West Semitic comparative and diachronic philology. My main approach is within a sociolinguistic framework seeing Semitic languages as languages in contact among each other and other non-Semitic languages. In addition to my interest in the languages, culture and history of the Near East I follow discussions on subjects as ethnicity, nationalism, continuity and change, cultural exchange and Eastern Christianity.
