In September 2000 he defended his thesis, which resulted in the present publication. After his thesis he studied Persian as well. He is currently compiling a database/dictionary of the Iranian verb, focussing his attention on the Old and Middle Iranian material. His interest also lies in the research of modern Iranian dialects. For this purpose he will carry out field-work in Iran during the summer months in the present and coming years.
