I am a cognitive linguist, interested in the applications of metaphor theory, blending, and construction grammar to a variety of grammatical phenomena. I usually work on English, but occasionally also on Polish. I speak and write both English and Polish.
 
I also work on the applications of cognitive linguistic theories to literary discourse. I am particularly interested in viewpoint phenomena in the narrative, and in formal correlates of literary meaning. I am a member of the editorial board of the journals Language and Literature and English Text Construction.
 
My latest book The Language of Stories: A Cognitive Approach will be published this fall by Cambridge University Press.
