The study of linguistics provides unique insight into the very nature of what it means to be human: communication and thinking are part of everyday life, but the complexity and breadth of what is covered and achieved by ‘language’ is baffling. Exploring this field from many different angles is what drives me in my research and teaching. My utmost goal is to inspire students to engage in learning about language and become motivated to use their skills and knowledge inside and outside the field.
