My name is Anne Kruijt. I am a Postdoc researcher at the University of Verona, Italy. I completed my PhD in 2022 at the University of Verona on the topic of the case systems of the non-standard language varieties spoken in Trentino-South Tyrol and Veneto. I have a Research MA in Linguistics (2017) from Leiden University, the Netherlands, where I wrote my thesis on the ablative clitic of Iraqw.
I am currently working in the AlpiLinK project (German-Romance Language contact in the Italian Alps: Documentation, Explanation , Participation), which focuses on the non-standard languages (dialects and minority languages) spoken in the alpine regions of Italy. The project has a strong focus on Citizen Science, FAIR and open research data production, and public engagement with scientific research and its results.
During my MA, I worked on the ablative clitic of Iraqw, and I hope to return to Tanzania for research in the (not too distant) future. I am currently involved in the RVN network by hosting the RVN webinar series and co-authoring the Riftology website..
My research interests include language description, morphology, language endangerment, and the use of digital tools for language documentation.
