She investigates indexing phenomena, viewpoint alternation, differential marking, and lexical constraints on grammatical relations, contributing significantly to linguistic typology and language documentation through fieldwork and theoretical analysis. Her publication trends reveal concentrated expertise in Papuan language structures, with recent works analyzing morphosyntactic patterns in Kamang (2024) and nominal systems in Tabaq (2019). The 2025 chapter \"Iha\" for The Oxford Guide to the Papuan Languages extends this focus to phonological and semantic dimensions across the language family. Dr. Walker currently leads DFG project \"Taking spoken language seriously\" and previously collaborated on \"Exceptions rule! Lexical restrictions on grammatical structure\". Her guest research at LACITO (2022) and co-editorship of Open Linguistics special issues demonstrate active engagement in international linguistic discourse and collaborative grant-funded research.
