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)
