Description
I am an applied linguist specializing in the usage of language, also known as pragmatics. My current obsession is figurative language, especially idioms. Idioms are really cool and reveal conceptual frameworks of the cultures they come from. Join me on this journey of discovering how no one ever says what they mean!
