Hi! I am Mariann Proos, Research Fellow in Semantics at the University of Tartu. I am interested in how language works, how it's connected to our minds and our surroundings. I work in semantics focussing on polysemy and meaning variation across languages. I have experience with both experimental and corpus-based methods of language research and I strongly believe in methodological pluralism.
