My research interests include linguistic typology, historical linguistics, cross-linguistic semantics and pragmatics, and anthropological linguistics. I am currently investigating the encoding of motion events with evolutionary models in order to understand how these different systems have developed. Currently I am looking at the Indo-European language family, but Austronesian and Bantu will also be investigated. Other projects that investigate typological variation with evolutionary models will be carried out in the future.
