Bert Le Bruyn

Research Profile:

I'm a semanticist specializing in cross-linguistic variation with a keen interest in second language acquisition. My expertise lies in the domains of referentiality and tense/aspect. The methods I use include corpus as well as experimental (offline) methodologies. My ORCiD is https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9090-7383.

I'm an Assistant Professor (UD) at the Department of Language, Literature and Communication (TLC) of Utrecht University. My research is embedded within the Institute for Language Sciences (formerly known as the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS). You can reach me at b.s.w.lebruyn@uu.nl.

Knowledge Utilization:
