The comparison distinguishes a proposed universal pattern from a pattern found only in a narrow sample of related languages. Her account also considers whether structural organization can follow from more general principles rather than being stipulated independently for each case. She completed her doctorate in 2019 and is a coauthor of Essentials of Linguistics (2nd edition) by Catherine Anderson and others.
