Research

I am a linguist with a special interest in morphology and the mental lexicon. My recent research, for which I received an Open Competition L grant from NWO, focusses on the development of a morphological constructicon (“Morphicon”) for Dutch. Together with Ray Jackendoff (MIT/Tufts University), I have developed the framework of Relational Morphology, a theory of complex words in the mind.
