I am an Associate Professor and Associate Chair, Undergraduate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. I am also a faculty member in the Graduate Program in Letras [Literature and Linguistics] at the Federal University of Roraima (PPGL-UFRR).
My work integrates theoretical and experimental research in the field of cross-linguistic semantics. I investigate how semantic representations in different domains are encoded in linguistic constructions, and how this encoding varies across languages. Most of my research has focused on the conceptual domain of counting and measuring.
I am Co-Editor of the Canadian Journal of Linguistics/Revue Canadienne de Linguistique and Section Editor (Pragmatics and Semantics) of the Journal Language and Linguistics Compass.
