Her research focuses on the cognitive and functional grounding of linguistic structure, particularly in syntax and morphosyntax. She’s been one of the leading proponents of the constructional approach in language analysis, developing the representational potential of Construction Grammar into new areas, especially as concerns the integration of conventionalized interactional features in syntactic generalizations. She has been engaged in pioneering work concerned with capturing the fluid nature of grammatical organization, especially in the domain of variability and change, largely in connection with grammaticalization theory and its emphasis on the contextual grounding of grammatical development.
In addition to serving as one of the Associated Editors for Cognitive Linguistics, she is the co-founder of the book series Constructional Approaches to Language at John Benjamins (2000) and was one of its co-editors till 2012. She’s the co-founder (in 2008) of the journal Constructions and Frames and since 2012 has been also its Co-Editor-in-Chief.
