Overview

My research takes a multimodal, multilingual dimension to language, spoken and signed. I am interested in sign language linguistics, language variation, sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, language accessibility, community-based learning, digital literacy for inclusion, and other related fields in general linguistics. 

My recent investigations have focused on multilingualism, language accessibility, sociolinguistics, and the role of iconicity in the visual-spatial modality.
