I am a diachronic linguist, and I have just finished my position as a postdoctoral researcher in the EPoCC research group at the Department of Linguistics at Charles University, where I worked on 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), after which I was a lecturer in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam (fall 2018 & spring 2019).

I joined the Department of Linguistics at Charles University in April 2019.

Research interests

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