  • Research

    My main interests lie in the following fields:

    • Syntax-semantics interface
    • Copular constructions
    • Evidentiality/Epistemicity
    • Grammaticalization
    • Semantic Change
    • Corpus Linguistics 
    • Germanic Languages 

    In 2018 I defended my PhD thesis "Perception and Predication: A Synchronic and Diachronic Analysis of Dutch Descriptive Perception Verbs as Evidential Copular Verbs" under the supervision of Prof. Mary Dalrymple and Prof. Ash Asudeh at the University of Oxford (Examiners: Prof. Aditi Lahiri and Prof. Gabriele Diewald).
