About Me

I am a doctoral researcher at the Research Training Group of Dimensions of Constructional Space at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg.
My background is theoretical (Arabic) linguistics and cognitive science of language. As a member of the RTG group, I investigate the neuro-computational plausibility of construction grammar as a usage-based approach to language. My primary work is on English verb-particle combination and the brain activation during processing such constructions (project 3).
