Hovedsakelig forsker jeg på sammenhengen mellom – og koevolusjonen av – kognisjon, språk, og kultur. Interessene mine strekker seg fra konseptuelle systemer til grunnleggende prosesser, med fokus på representasjon av tall, rom- og tidsrelaterte referanser, kausal kognisjon, eller den mulige virkningen som ulike lingvistiske kategorier (som grammatisk kjønn) kan ha på hvordan vi tenker. Forskningsmetodene som jeg bruker, omfatter blant annet konseptuelle analyser, etnografi (spesielt i det polynesiske kongeriket Tonga), og tverrkulturelle/tverrspråklige sammenligninger, samt kognitive og psykolingvistiske eksperimenter.
