Daugs’ work explores how usage patterns shape linguistic systems diachronically, particularly in modal expressions and morphological constructions. His recent projects include compiling a Northern California English corpus and modeling pragmatic associations.
Scientific contributions include studies on privative prefixes (near-, pseudo-), hella-intensification dynamics, and modal contraction processing. Notable awards include the 2019 John Sinclair Bursary for outstanding PhD candidate research.
Current teaching topics include Usage-Based Morphology, Construction Grammar, and Academic Skills training. His research emphasizes methodological coherence through corpus linguistics across courses.
