About me
I am a linguist with a strong background in mathematics. I am interested in the structure and meaning of words from a theoretical, typological and cognitive perspective. My work is cross-linguistic and I have carried out research on: Bulgarian, Czech, English, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, Slovak, Slovene and Ukrainian. My projects have been supported by institutions such as: Austrian National Bank (OeNB), Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Erste Bank (DieErste) - Vienna, European Science Foundation (ESF), Mayor of Vienna and University of Vienna.
