Bio

I am a diachronic linguist, affiliated with the Department of Linguistics at Charles University. I am interested in topics that lie at the intersection of syntax/semantics and language change using quantitative corpus methods. 

I obtained my PhD in Linguistics from the University of Oxford in May 2018 (titled Perception and Predication, under the supervision of Prof. Mary Dalrymple and Prof. Ash Asudeh). I was a lecturer in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam (fall 2018 & spring 2019), after which I was a post-doc at the Department of Linguistics at Charles University from April 2019 until February 2021.

At the moment I work as a Dutch linguist/language consultant for Apple.

Research interests

• Constructionist/cognitive approaches to language change
• Quantitative corpus linguistics
• Evidentiality, epistemicity and subjectivity
• Predicates of personal taste and copular constructions
