Tania E. Strahan is an independent researcher specializing in Scandinavian syntax and phonology. Her work focuses primarily on long-distance reflexives (LDR) in Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese, exploring how these closely related languages vary in their binding patterns.
She has contributed significant research on the typology of non-local reflexives within the Lexical-Functional Grammar framework, demonstrating that variation across Scandinavian varieties defies simple hierarchical explanations.
Beyond Scandinavian linguistics, Strahan has published on pronoun usage in Australian English - including the use of singular "they" - and on narrative structures in conversational settings. Her publications appear in journals such as Nordic Journal of Linguistics, Nordlyd, Australian Journal of Linguistics, and Narrative Inquiry.
