Research areas
Semantics, pragmatics, contrastive linguistics
I work at the interface between semantics and pragmatics. My main research interest is in the Tense Aspect Modality Evidentiality categories, in English and French, from a contrastive and typological perspective. I have worked extensively on the expression of surprise and on mirativity. More recently I have become interested in non canonical questions and in the connection between modality and speech acts.
