I am a linguist specializing in sign languages and multimodal language use. My research interests include the ways embodied cognition and general cognitive mechanisms give rise to emergent linguistic structures. My work focuses on embodied approaches to phonology and semantics, usage-based construction grammar, sociolinguistic variation, and language change. I examine how iconicity impacts language organization and processing, influencing individual and group experiences and perceptions.
