My overall research interests span Semantics, the interface between Syntax and Semantics, the organization and processing of Lexical and Syntactic knowledge, Gricean Pragmatics, and Natural Language Processing.

My current research focuses on the following issues:

  1. Theories of lexical knowledge and lexical productivity (see Koenig (1999) for a relevant summary of my research in this area)
  2. The interface between argument structure and subcategorization (or linking constraints) (see Davis and Koenig (2000) and Koenig and Davis (2001) for recent research in this area)
  3. The interaction between lexical semantics and discourse (see Koenig and Mauner (1999) and Koenig and Muansuwan (In Press) for recent illustrations)
  4. The role of lexical information in Morphological and Sentence Processing (see Mauner and Koenig (2000) and Melinger and Koenig (2000) for recent papers in this area)

I am currently a member of the Psycholinguistics Laboratory and of the Semantic Network Processing System Research Group.
