Service

I believe service to the academic community is a must. Only when we all do our share, we will get somewhere.

Reviewing

I am a quite broad reviewer. Usually, I get invited to review on articles that have to do with:

  • Chinese
  • iconicity, onomatopoeia, ideophones, sound symbolism
  • rating studies (sensory experience SER etc.)
  • (iconic) gesture
  • lexical borrowing
  • motion events (Talmyan motion typology)
  • variational phenomena
  • lexical expressions related to the weather (meteorological)
