Research Interests
My main research interests are in the areas of cognitive linguistics, esp. Construction Grammar, collo-phenomena (collocation, collostruction), computational and corpus linguistics, and lexicography. I have a particular interest in using very large multimodal datasets, data science methods and machine learning for my research, and also in creating relevant research infrastructures and open datasets.
