I study creativity and form-meaning patterns in language, communication, and cognition. Some of my favorite topics: cognition and poetics, conceptual integration (the capacity to blend disparate elements into new meanings), embodied cognition (spatial schemas, simulation, mental imagery), the expression of time and emotions, the cognitive study of oral poetic traditions, and multimodal communication (speech, gesture, prosody, gaze...).
What kind of Red Hen are you?- Co-speech gesture provides evidence for a flexible mental timeline (submitted)
- The spatial configuration of vehicles is adapted to time representation in metaphors (submitted)
- Temporal phrases co-occur with semantically-related gesture by default (submitted)
