My research starts from a simple observation: people, languages, and communicative situations vary — and that variation matters.
Together with my team, I study how information is encoded in language, how linguistic patterns change over time, how people differ in the way they process and communicate information, and how these differences shape understanding and interaction.
Our work brings together linguistics, corpus and computational methods, information theory, and experimental approaches, including eye-tracking and Virtual Reality. What connects these perspectives is an interest in moving between large-scale patterns in language and the people who produce, process, and interpret them.
