Her research focuses on linguistic semantics, particularly temporal categories like tense, aspect, and modality. Key areas include Australian English temporal usage, formal models for aspectual phenomena in Indigenous Australian languages (e.g., Martuthunira, Panyjima), and semantic change processes. She leads international collaborative projects such as the EU-funded TAMEAL initiative exploring Tense-Aspect-Modality-Evidentiality interrelations in Australian Aboriginal languages.
Grants include major awards like the Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (FP7–PEOPLE–IRSES–2008) and multiple Australian Research Council grants. She has secured over €82,800 in European funding and AU$26,310 in Australian grants for her research programs.
- 2009: €82,800 EU Marie Curie Grant (TAMEAL project)
- 2001: AU$11,289 UWA Grant (Present Perfect Study)
Teaching contributions span undergraduate linguistics (syntax, semantics), applied linguistics (second language acquisition), and educational linguistics. She supervised 39 HDR students in theoretical/applied linguistics areas since 2008. Recent work includes analyzing temporal discourse markers in Australian English narratives and formal semantic modeling of Indigenous Australian aspectual systems.
