Research

My research concerns the pragmatics of conditional constructions ('if-then sentences'), both in Cognitive Linguistics, and Theories of Argumentation. I obtained my PhD in Linguistics in 2022, in which I combined pragmatic-theoretical and corpus-based analyses of conditionals. Furthermore, I investigate factors involved in Dutch verb-spelling errors, using methodologies from Digital Humanities, and insights from Dutch Linguistics and education research.
