Research interests
My central research interest is Russian language. In my research, I apply the theoretical concepts of Cogntive Linguistics to data from Russian. In particular, I am interested in quantitative analysis of corpus data. I am also interested in historical linguistics, and I am the author of the textbook How Russian Came to Be the Way It Is (Slavica Publishers 2015).
