DESCRIPTION:My research investigates the nature of
  categories and concepts in language, in non-lingu
 istic perception and  cognition, and the relations
 hip between them. I adopt a large-scale cross-cult
 ural approach in order to  establish which aspects
  of categorisation are fundamentally shared, and w
 hich language-specific. My work is  interdisciplin
 ary, combining standardised psychological methodol
 ogy, in-depth linguistic studies and  ethnographic
 ally-informed description. This coordinated approa
 ch has been used to study of domains such as  spac
 e, event representation and more recently the lang
 uage of perception.  For more information, see htt
