Linguist, grammarian, and Polish language researcher. Her scientific interests include surface syntax of the Polish language, morphology, especially the inflection of highly inflecting languages, and the use of corpora in linguistic research. What she enjoys most about corpora are the unexpected findings. She teaches general linguistics and translation theory. She participated in the creation of the Polish wordnet, framenet and the 19th century of Polish corpus. She is a member of the Words on Time team, which researches the daily, weekly, and monthly most important words of Polish media discourse, and she annually organises a plebiscite for the word of the year. She has recently published articles: “Microcorpus of Nineteenth-Century Polish 2016” (https://doi.org/10.17885/heiup.361.509), “Corpus-based Semantic Relatedness for the Construction of Polish WordNet: Proceedings of the Sixth International Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC’08) LREC 2008” (http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2008/pdf/459_paper.pdf). Between 2013 and 2017, she was the head of the project ‘Automatyczna analiza fleksyjna tekstów polskich z lat 1830-1918 z uwzględnieniem zmian w odmianie i pisowni’ (https://projekty.ncn.gov.pl/index.php?projekt_id=199880).
