I am a senior researcher and lecturer at the Department of Computational Linguistics at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.

Research interests

  • Lexical semantics (empirical foundation, formal representation, cross-linguistic variation)
  • Syntax-semantics interface (esp. of multi-predicate constructions across languages)
  • Frame semantics (formal foundation, modeling of verb meaning, composition)
  • Grammar formalisms (Role and Reference Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammars)
  • Natural language annotation (esp. of deep syntactic and semantic information)
  • Computational semantics
  • Computational lexicography
