About Me


Hello :)

I am a research and teaching associate and a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Hildesheim, Germany.

I work at the Institute of Translation Studies and Specialised Communication. My supervisor is  Prof. Dr. Ekaterina Lapshinova-Koltunski.

I speak and understand several languages (English, German, Turkish, Spanish, French, Bosnian).

I have great love for books, knowledge and wisdom, baking, psychology, languages, conversations, beaches, summer and sunsets and travelling.

Research

My research interests are in corpus-linguistics and disourse analysis, English linguistics, expression of emotion and attitude and variation in translation. In my PhD project I am analysing evaluative linguistic expressions and emotions in popular science discourse of English original texts and German translations.

Education

I got my MA degree English: Language, Literatures and Cultures with specialisation in Linguistics at the University of Göttingen, Germany. My MA thesis was about second language acquisition of English articles by L1 Bosnian learners.

I completed my BA in English Language and Literature with a focus on linguistics, literature, translation and teaching at the International Burch University in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I took part in Erasmus+ semester exchange at the West University of Timisoara, Romania in 2016/2017 and at the University of Leon, Spain in 2018
