Research Interests:
Her main research area is formal semantics, with particular focus on the semantics–pragmatics interface. She investigates information structure, scope, pragmatic markers, sentence types, and speech acts, often using Hungarian data. She also collaborates on experimental and corpus-based projects in syntax, prosody, and psycholinguistics.
Publications & Trends:
Recent publications (2022–2023) continue her long-standing work on polar interrogatives, evidential particles, and the prosody of exclamatives, combining formal semantic analysis with experimental methods. Her research increasingly integrates cross-linguistic perspectives and prosodic experimentation.
