Research

I'm currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the project Finnish relations: Changes in Finnish relational predicates from the 16th century to the present in which I study the historical changes pertaining to Finnish adverbials.

In my PhD dissertation, I explored the semantics and metaphoricity of Finnish adpositions and adverbs. After obtaining my PhD, I have studied how the concept of 'grammar' is used in Finnish linguistic research papers. Additionally, I have conducted research on how temporal words are used as discourse markers.
