Renate Born's research interests are in two areas: the evolution of modern standard German in the early modern period, and the dialects of immigrant communities who established settlements in North America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She is the author of the book Michigan German in Frankenmuth: Variation and Change in an East Franconian Dialect (Camden House, 1993), and has just completed an essay on the evolution of modern standard German between the fourteenth and the eighteenth centuries which will appear in the fourth volume of the Camden House History of German Literatures series. She has published articles on Germanic verb morphology, language maintenance and death, as well as language pedagogy. Dr. Born teaches courses on German language variation, the history of the German language after 1500, and German phonology and morphology.
